well, i don't think your surgery idea is very practical. it will need to be done in other areas a little bit down the road, and you will end up with a patchwork design if you repair each sag like you stated above. if you are not ready to buy a new board or repair the one you've got, a temporary fix is to use push pins or thumbtacks to hold up the sagging area. i don't recommend leaving them in very long, just until you get ready to do the complete job. it looks a lot nicer if you can match the color of the thumbtack and your headliner, but the tacks can always be painted with a dot of nail polish or something similar to get the color closer to the fabric.

i have done the above in a pinch, and basically it was just to keep it from hitting my head as i got in and out of the car. i eventually pulled the board and painted it with texture paint. unless you touched it, you didn't know it wasn't fabric. of course, there are arguments aboot acoustics and what-not, but i wasn't ready to shell out for a new board and i've seen the glue sprays fail on a number of headliners. btw, this was a non-fbody. both my f-bodies will get authentic headliner replacements when the time comes.
