Unfortunately, I don't think there is a fix in a 
can.  Usually the head liners are a
piece of cloth with a foam rubber backing which is glued to a fiberglass shell.

Over the years, heat and cool cycles, and wind 
beating on it (windows rolled down)
the foam rubber drys out and crumbles.

You can try getting any spray glue and seeing if 
that won't hold it up for a while,
but the real fix is to take it to a shop and have 
them remove the headliner, clean
the old cloth off the shell, and install new 
material.  I don't have any idea what
it costs today.  I had a Voyager van done years 
ago for about $125 dollars.  But
like I say that was well over 10 yrs ago.
