I saw some headliner re-attachment thingies at NAPA yesterday - they are little barbed tacks that you stick up into the foam substrate and holds the fabric up. I think they wanted them spaced every two inches or so. Yes, they will look tacky, as they only come in one color and it's not likely to match your headliner, but will look better than a headliner that is falling down. I had never heard of a headliner that was glued to a foam substrate, so didn't pay much attention to them, though it did make me think that that manufacturing technique must not result in a long-term product, since a solution to the problem they created is already available.
