How to Repair a Small Rip In The Headliner?

This morning my wife told me that she found a small rip in the
headliner close to the rear right passenger door. I went to take a
look at it and it's perhaps 1/2" in length and very narrow. But the
black is still showing through from underneath the headliner. I'd like
to get this repaired as quickly as possible before it becomes larger,
but all the dealers I called in town told me they have nothing to
repair a rip of this type and suggested I call some upholstery shops
that specializes in cars and see what I can find.

I haven't got around to calling any of these places, but I have a
feeling that I'll be charged for an arm and a leg for it. My wife went
to a few craft and fabric shops, but said she couldn't find anything
that would reasonably match the headliner.

Have any of you had a small rip in the headliner and if so, what did
you do to repair it? TIA.

 

There are methods to repair the headlinner,
go to a good not a backyard detail shop. Stop by a Lexus dealer ask them
where they send there used cars for detail, some do it on site, but others
use a shop. Those detail shops have acess to repair techs that can fix that
rip.

Don't half ass it with hot glue. duck tape bla bla bla.

Seems like hot glue would melt again on a hot summer day.
