Oh yeah mine was saggin bad so I just sprayed it with some 3m stuff I got at a body shop for $13
Seems to hold great except for the corner I didn't spray well, so I will have to go reshoot it.

If you want it to last...
Be sure to scrape off the orange resedue lest over on the headliner backing. Have a shopvack handy! It's messy, but if you don't remove the orange resedue (old dry glue) the new glue will not hold.
The other problem is depending on how long the headliner has been sagging it may have stretched the material. If that's the case you will have wrinkles when you glue it back unless you pull back the headliner to the edge of the roof and trim it accordingly.
The 3M light material spray on headliner glue is the one to use. DO NOT mistakenly get the heavy duty spray on glue - It's for Landau tops and such and is WAY to aggressive for the fine material Audi used on their headliners.

Depending on how neatly you can remove it...
I got quoted around 200 bucks including materials to get a full faux-suede headliner installed into my car. I am going to wait for some money to come around and then I am going to do it.
