Reckon your only option now is to drop the headliner inside the car (which you would have to do in any case if you got a replacement headliner; which seems a waste if the existing is OK), and look carefully at why what shouldn't happen is happening!
Then, depending on what you find .... if it were me as a final solution, I would acquire from an estate breaker a couple of plastic turnbuckle fittings; make up two new metal brackets to accept them; superglue them to the metal of the roof in the the pre-formed 'ridge area' of the existing headliner, and put a hole in the existing headliner to match the hole in the brackets in a similar way to what I had to do when I found the front roof fixings of a 940 where in a slightly different place to a 745. It was a fiddle but has worked to provide support.
Let us know how you get on.
