I have the same problem on my disco but i don't have sunroofs so lining is sagging badly where they should be.
I thought of stripping off the material and replacing it with a good quality white sheet but the adehesive might show throught any ideas.

You want a thin material for stuff like that. I have reupholstered furniture in the past and where there are lots of different curves and changes in direction, thicker and defiantly backed material will be a pain in the ass.

The stuff I have is only 3mm thick including the foam backing
The headliner is incredibly easy to get out.... sun visors, grab handles, trim in boot beneath alpine windows, trim around back doors and it's out!!
Took of all plastic bits carefully including netting etc. Peeled off horrible liner. Foam just brushed off. Upholsterer advised me to NOT use any chemicals as the new adhesive won't stick.
