Headliner clip?

[jpc763]

Does anyone know how this clip is supposed to work? I can clip it and it stays for a while and then snaps open again.

It's not really a clip but rather a halfround piece of plastic that kind of clips over a hump in the front hoop. You could try to squeeze it back in, but it could be just broken. The piece of plastic runs over the whole width of the headliner and unfortunately just desintegrates after 8 to 10 years. You can't get that piece of plastic separately but have to buy a whole new headliner.

Be careful on buying a new headliner, the aftermarket headliners I've seen assume you will use the clip currently in your car.
