Roofliner squeaking

Does anyone have this problem? It squeaks a lot and was thinking of having it replaced. Any neat aftermarket parts to recommend?

Thanks

My headliner was rattling by the rear window. It would stop if you held the headliner down or grabbed the edge of it and pulled it down. What I did was take a small piece of papertowel and pushed it in between the roof and headliner with a small screwdriver. Problem solved!

Doesn't your sunroof just push the paper towel away?

Nah, the part that squeaks on mine is by the rear window. I have the paper towel pushed in less than an inch from the back of the headliner.

Did you push the paper towel in from the sunroof side, or did you peel the headliner back from the back?

I pushed it in from the back of the roof. THere is a gap between the rear window and the headliner that i pushed the folded paper towel under. It was a very small piece, maybe 1" long and .5" wide and .25" thick.

If you are squeaking in the front, i can't say what to do there since it would most likely get pushed out by the sunroof like you said above.
