Default storm damage

We came back yesterday from a wonderful car show through a very strong wind and rain storm. Something hit the top of our car and broke one of the wood bows. The roof then started to leak badly. When I got home I started a fan and dehumidifier in the car and pulled out the seats also to check how far the water traveled. My question is: Can the headliner be cleaned to remove the water stains that were created from the leaking roof without shrinking it or damaging the 84 year old fabric? I would prefer this option to replacing it as the interior is all original. My insurance adjuster said the it could be replaced along with the top and bow but I would rather keep it original. The headliner isn't ripped at all but rather the water pulled out all the dirt, smoke, etc... and have created large stains on it now that it is drying.
