Hmm..your headliner is drooping? That's fairly common on our cars...you may have to have it taken out and once it's out, just re-do it in ultrasuede or something cool...

i had mine redone and its been a little over a year with no problems yet, maybe they just used a bad glue on your car, also, make sure they didnt just glue the suede onto the original shell. The suede should have had its own foam padding, and the shell hould have been cleaned properly.
