Sagging Headliner

Sagging Headliner
I'm trying to figure out a decent fix for my headliner. I have a 97 Reg. cab, SLT Laramie. The headliner has come loose in many places above the windshield. I've tried some glue a body shop friend of mine gave me, but it only keeps getting worse. If no ideas on this any thought on how much to replace it?

I have another headliner question for anyone that has removed theirs. I want to put Dynamat on the roof to insulate from heat and deaden sound. Is there enough room between the steel and the headliner to do this?

The only insulation I would suggest putting up there would have to be very light weight. The headliner is set up to only hold itself up, and not much of anything else (it's only cheap cardboard). The only points it is secured at are the corners and where the light in the center is located. Anything heavy and it will give.
Oldspartan, don't even bother with any redneck remedies. On my old Camaro I had a sagging headliner and being a kid with little money I tried everything. I tried glues of all types, and even staples, but nothing would work. Finally I broke down and found a local shop that redid it for $100. After that, I had no more problems. Call around to local shops and they can probably redo your old one cheaper than getting a new one, and they will probably match it up just fine.

Dynamat is self adhesive, foil-backed and only about 3/16" thick. You stick it to the sheetmetal. The headliner does not have to support it. I did all my doors with it and it really cuts the road noise and vibrations down and makes the stereo sound awesome. I want to put it on the roof mainly to cut down on some of the heat that radiates down on my head in the summer and maybe quiet the cab down a little more.
