If you have the original material but it has separated from the foam, it can be cleaned up and re installed very easily. I reinstalled mine on to a poster board sandwiched in foam and it turned out great. The beauty of this install is that it is held in by the trim pieces and can be removed if needed. If you need help or have questions let me know.
Sorry no pics.(I did not have a digital camera in 1998).

Below is my post from the "other" forum.

Like most of you, the need for repairing our fallen headliner is one of those projects that sooner or later we all tackle. I have read all of the posts and gotten some good advice. Various ideas from gluing to a plastic board or directly to the roof were considered. A local trim shop here in Atlanta gave me an idea that worked for me and was easy and inexpensive.

At an office supply store I purchased a white foam display board (40x60x3/16) it is two pieces of poster board with a foam inner piece. It is also light weight, flexible, and easy to cut. After removing what was left of the old foam from the headliner with Simple Green and scraping the roof with a plastic scraper (also a shop vac works well) I was ready to fit the foam board. I rough cut the board with a utility knife until it fit with in the cavity provided by the side supports and front braces. Next I used 3M 80/90 trim adhesive. (NAPA)This is an adhesive used for vinyl tops or heavy headliner installations. I glued the headliner to the board. After 24 hours to assure good strength I reinstalled the board. The board will stay up by the trim panels and could be easily removed if necessary. The cost of this was about ten bucks for the board and another ten for the adhesive. Time wise it took about three hours. I think the foam will be of some help as an insulator and sound deadener.
