Well since I was sick anyway, I drilled and screwed my headliner in. I don't like drilling metal (those metal shavings hurt).
My girly side may hurt me in the long run. I'm using beautiful decorative green pearly glass beads as washers behind my screws and they may not hold up to road vibration (they look awesome) so I may have to redo in the future with hand painted metal washers. We'll see. Since I had to demo and start over I thought I'd give an update about where I am in the process of my little tear.
