Default Headliner Falling on Drivers Side

I wanted to make a post about this because most of the posts I see are about the material separating from the backing and sagging, in this case, the whole assembly itself just seems to be falling on the drivers side of the car.... Not just the alcantara material, it has not separated. Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

Glue letting loose? Maybe some 3m heavy duty double-sided tape as a stop gap.

The material/glue isn't separating, the whole entirely assembly is dropping. The little velcro pad isn't hooking together and holding it up.

Small update, I took the velcro clips out of both the body and headliner and will replace them both to see if new ones will hold, nothing really seemed wrong with them, but who knows, maybe they're worn out after 8 years and some time in the sun. I push them together and can hear them connect but they wouldn't actually hold. Clearly Porsche recognized that this system didn't really work, because the 718 headliner, despite being the same shape, has a totally new/different attachment system.

New clips with new velcro didn't work, it just won't stick together, it seems like the headliner is somehow too far for it to want to hook up, I am now wondering if it is somehow just deformed, although it certainly doesn't look it from a visual standpoint, anyway, enjoying talking to myself

I've not had this problem (Yet) but remembered this thread. Maybe it'll help... https://rennlist.com/forums/981-foru...ow-to-fix.html

Thanks, unfortunately while my problem is visually the same, the fixes don't work. I think somehow the entire foam core is warped
