Guys,
Like many others - my headliner had given way and was sagging. But was not ripped.
I decided to add a couple of metal 'hoops' to hold it up. I like to think they resemble what a fancy horse drawn buggy might look like inside with a fold down cover.
Total cost was peanuts (less than $10). I used 3x12mm (1/8"x1/2" in the old language) aluminum from the hardware store. Looks really good.
Those three ugly things in front of one of the hoops is my 1st rushed attempt to get the headliner off the back seat! I drilled into what I thought was a horizontal metal support of some sort and added those ugly plastic Xmas Tree tops. Found out later to my horror - I had drilled into the tube that holds the rotating thing that opens/closes the sun roof! Ouch. Trimmed the screws down to about 1 thread and all good ... but ugly.
