This is what is happening to mine. The front plastic retainer has separated in the center and appears warped. I've tried numerous ways to get it back in place, but I'm too worried about stretching the fabric out of shape. Is the only fix to replace the headliner?

If you peel the soft back , front and sides removed, the plastic retainer will be exposed. Drill tiny holes in retailer in front, take mechanical wire, loop through and pull through metal header and twist wire tight. Clip and bend wire out of way.
