Cruisair headliner Question

[NC74392]

This may sound dumb, but I can't for the life of me figure how to keep my 14-13-2 headliner from sagging. AFAIK, there are no bows that span the top side-to-side (are there?). All you got are the wood pieces that arch from the hat shelf to the door/ window frame on each side and a dome light hanging in the middle bolted to a frame cross member. Open the side window once with the big fan out front spinning, and it's going to start flapping and stretching (if my luck holds the way it's been lately).

It didn't help that our cat(s) decided to take a looooong nap on it when I had the fuselage upside-down taping the fabric seams. He/ they must have rolled in the dirt before sleeping it off :? I'm hoping Woolite, elbow grease, and H2O will take it off, but I don't dare do it until I have the headliner exactly in place. The water will shrink the wool! Do it now and I'm going to have one wrinkled headliner...

One other question- there is black rubber-like headliner insulation stuck to the bottom of the fabric over the cabin- about 4 sq inches. Is this going to screw up my UV coat/ paint right there :?:

Hi Dave!
I am just getting ready to put my headliner in but I remember that it was sagging in the back. When I visited with my friends at Alexandria Air, I was advised to add a couple of additional light weight metal rods or even wood to the existing ones because it would help hold it in place. I opted for the wood since my hobby is woodworking.
