[V8Vairs] Headliner

[Rick Norris]

It is the negative pressure. Mine did the same thing. Your metal bow 
retainers are not locked in place. Need to really bens the metal tangs over 
them tightly. I learned this the hard way.
Wait until you go down the road one day and forget to batten down the engine 
hatch! You will see how much positive pressure there is under the car at 
speed!
Don't ask me how I know this!
