Our car has about 20 shiny brass thumb tacks holding up the forward part of the headliner.  The part behind he sunroof has been cut off altogether by some previous owner.  

I'm thinking about taking the headliner backing board out and spraying it with some sort of textured spray.  Years ago I saw some spray paint that sprayed on then swelled up a little, then dried to a finish that looked a bit like vinyl or leather.  I should look around for something like that.

The head lining in my rover 620 started to come loose then, with the windows down last summer the wind flapped it about and made it worse. a stapler opened up and stapled to the roof did the job. carpet glue in a can made a horrible mess :(

Here in the states you can buy foam backed velour cloth that is a pretty close match for the original headliner material.  The kit is big enough for a large SUV like a Chevy Suburban, so it is plenty big enough for a Range Rover.  The kit is in the $40-50 range, plus a can of 3M spray adhesive for another $10 or so.  Or you go take it to an auto upholstery shop and they can install it in an afternoon for around $300.

The other day I found a web site for Maestro and Montego owners.  Not quite my cup of tea but I found it when I looked for sagging head linings.  The thread was all the members going on about how they had stapled/pinned/tacked their head linings up.  But also one guy had put on a number of links showing how he re-lined his - I was impressed enough to think I should share it with you all.  He bought the items from the following site   http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-93-brushed-nylon.aspx

And if you do not want to go through the whole thread here is his contribution.

"Here are the piccies I promised.

Here is the biscuit before I recovered it, this is the back of it and you can see where the patch was glued onto it.

This was just after I'd finished the initial covering and before I had glued the overhangs to the back of the biscuit.

Note the extra at each corner so that it can be fed down each pillar, behind the pastic trim.

Here's the lining refitted to the car:

And the front, viewed from the Driver's side:

You can also see the recovered sunroof panel - very easy to remove and a doddle to recover, although you do need to remove the sunroof tray.

As an added bonus, the car has that nice 'new' smell about it now as well!"
