Default Fiberglass type replacement headliners - anyone had issues?

I recently got a replacement complete headliner from one of the eBay UK sellers (there are a couple; I think they might be the same company as the listings are very similar)

There are issues with the predrilled holes basically not being aligned correctly - to the point I'm not sure I can make it fit. The moulding is also a bit crude - for example around the rear view mirror mount where the 3 attachment screws are, the headliner board is curved, not flat, so doesn't match the mirror base & the screws basically don't reach the holes in the body of the car.

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with these as it looks like the sellers have sold many units so fairly popular?

I got mine from these people:

All OK, but you MUST stick a sheet of 1/4 inch foa, onto the roof before fitting, otherwise the fibreglass bo,gs against the mteal when you shut the doors etc

In 2019 I got mine from Myrtle as well and all the predrilled holes lined up properly.
