The same thing happened in my '92 Ram. I used some headliner
adhesive that I found at Autozone. It was in a fairly large,
orange spray can, I think it might have been made by 3M? Anyway,
the stuff doesn't seem all that strong when you are putting it
together, but it is holding so far. (Follow the instructions on
the can.) The tricky part is to get the fabric back up there
nice and smooth with no wrinkles. My Ram's headliner now has a
couple of wrinkles, but I judged it to be "good enough" for a
work truck and its certainly better than a sagging headliner.
Having the headliner constantly rubbing the top of your head
is only a couple of steps better than Chinese water torture,
IMHO. ;-)
When I did it, I removed the entire board from the truck
and sprayed it on a table since almost the entire headliner
was sagging, but depending on the size of the sag and its
location, you might be able to get away with spraying it in
the truck.
