Antone have a way to secure the front of the headliner?

I bought one from thirdgenparts for $10 since I live two minutes down the road. Anyway, the two front clips ripped out. I have the visors screwed in which keeps it up but it sags in the middle. Anyone else have this problem.....and solve it? Thanks for any help.

My headliner always sags, and its sensitive to temperature, always sagging.. Its not original, but it came with the car when i bought it, you can take small pieces of cardboard or plexiglass, and shove them up under the plastic trim in the car and it should hold that headliner tight, but, it may be temperary...

If I understand correctly your headliner is hanging down just enough to be irritating between the visors. I used a 2 inch piece of velcro on mine. Use some heavy duty adhesive ( do that kind of work so I used high temp glue for headliners) then seperate the velcro apply adhesive and install one piece to the roof and one piece to the underside of the headliner itself. Leave the 2 pieces apart overnight then push the headliner up into place. It won't fall again.
PS.sticky backed adhesive won't hold
