If it doesnt work like I am thinking, **** on it, I'll just herculine it and not have to worrry about it again!

I sooo wish I could do that. My headliner looks like Swiss cheese from holes, that is why it isn't "structurally sound". I almost wish I could make a mold out of the existing one and make my own board with a fiberglass chop gun. I simply want somehting that is going to last another 15-20 years, as I plan to have this XJ for a while, and have no desire to do this again.

I have a friend who does automotive restorations, I have watched him do headliners, convertible roofs, custom upholstery, just about everything. After watching him for a couple of years I came to the conclusion that there are certain items on my car that I will leave to the professionals and the headliner is on the top of that list.
