This is one of those things that looks like it should be easy - but isn't.
The headliner can not be easily reattached to the cross bars - if at all. It requires the headliner to be replaced in its entirety. A replacement is easily sourced and just needs to be reinstalled on the wooden frame.
There are about 1,000 little staples that hold the headliner to the frame. I've not been able to source them. The headliner also has to be positioned very accurately on the wooden frame.
I ended up taking mine to an upholstery shop, who glued it on the frame. This has held up ok so far.
Be sure as well to mark which cross bar goes where. There are all different lengths.
Good luck,
Glen
