Just thought of something and thought I would pass it on. For all of you
with
headliners coming loose, here's an alternative.  Mr. Selander's comment
about
painting the hard shell made me think, "Not a bad idea, but you would
lose
sound insulation." Then I thought of a product on the market that would
cover
the metal, provide sound insulation, and look good as it is available in

multiple colors. What I'm refering to is the new spray in bed liner
material
available for pickup truck beds. This stuff is supposed to be available
in a
"roll-on" form also. With the proper prep, and application, you could
have a
nice looking headliner, that you wouldn't have to worry about re-glueing
again
in a few years.

HTH, somebody.
