Default Headliner loose

Is this a job for a professional and a replacement, or something that can be fixed pretty simply. All corners and edges are connected, it just seems to be loose. It's only noticable when the sunroof is open. Any idea on cost would be helpful..

Thanks again!

Mines drooping in the middle, right above the rear seat. The first quote I received to have it redone was $700. The guy told me that there is a wiring harness that runs through the headliner and it take 5-6 hours to complete and he specializes in Jags. I would not advise trying to do this yourself, you'll end up with bumps and wrinkles everywhere. He also told me he would do Alcantara Ultrasuede for a few dollars more. Also apparently you have to be careful when having it redone because you have to use 1/8" thick fabric. If you use 1/4" like American cars use, it will jam your sunroof and break something. Good luck, Eric
