My Lumina Van has the typical saggy cloth headliner. I saw these at Wal Mart, cheap. I bought two packages and they work slicker than you know what on a door knob. I wouldn't use them on a show rig, but for an every day driver or work rigthey are perfect.

I tried the thumb tack bit. Put one in, put second one in, put third one in, first one falls out, repeat.
They are basically a cork screw type deal with a little clear plastic head on them. Stick it in a little and turn it till it stops, or the headliner is tight.
I like how it says on the package and the web site " For temporary repair " Yeah right, temporary until it goes to the bone yard! Think that will be a while for my van. When I am done with it on the road I want to put it on a Blazer frame and wheel the wee out of it!

My best friends old man owned an upholstery shop when we were growing up and we spent alot of time there I have seen everything from thumb tacks to fishing lures to duct tape trying to hold up the headliner. The funniest thing was one dude had a truck like ours and was using those toothpicks from Sonic that have the little plastic things on the end holding his headliner up.

Ha that's what we call Valley Riggin around here
The Valley being Seattle's Rainier Valley Ghetto where I grew up, and quite a few of my fine neighbors have used so many of what has been said on here, even these Cork-Screw Pins
Their Replacement Headliner Material is cheap and very easy to use... I used some when it first came out(98/00) in my Bucket '86 Park Avenue, to get rid of the duct tape & thumb tack job it had when I first got the car!!!

My Lumina will never get a new head liner. That would put my total investment into it over the last 3 years up over $2,000. That would be simply unacceptable!!! Besides when I am done with it I want to mount it on a K5 Blazer frame, and wheel the wee out of it.

they do work a LOT better then any stick pin seeing as that these twist in they don't fall out on their own.
I ran the cheapo's from the crafts section on my camaro for years, never had a problem with any of them.

I got mine at Wally World. I just put the link up so I didn't have to explain them and say they are at Wal Mart.
