When the same thing happened to a beater SAAB I had years ago, I held the
headliner up by pinning it back into place with a bunch of my wife's
straight pins (the type used to hold fabric pieces together while they're
run through the sewing machine). I inserted them at an angle into the
backing panel a couple inches apart in rows maybe every 16 inches. Worked
until I scrapped the car maybe a year later. Someone here once suggested a
similar approach incorporating something that might look like a reasonable
trim material that had a little stiffness. You'd need fewer pins because
the "trim" would help hold the fabric up.
