Default 993 Headliner Billows in the Wind

I have a '96 993 4S with a sunroof....I had the sunroof (driving very fast) and I noticed the headliner behind the sunroof billowing...the air coming into the open sunroof is causing the headliner to expand with the excess wind..clearly it's not attached in the center anymore, but it's still attached on the sides. I know the quick remedy is to close the sunroof, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to reattach the headliner?

Not sure how to help with the repair. Although, I do know that per the owners manual page 84 it states: "Do not operate the sunroof at vehicle speeds above 62 mph. The wind force may cause damage to the sunroof headliner or mechanism".

I was definitely going faster than 62, and it figures there's a statement in the owner's manual. I must have missed that page! Fortunately, the headliner is still very resilient and isn't sagging. Thanks for letting me know...
