ABSTRACT:
A headliner retainer consists of two elongate members which are selectively attachable together and which can be springedly and flexibly retained against a vehicle's headliner, especially in those situations where the headliner is breaking loose and beginning to sag. One of the two members is provided with a plurality of aligned apertures, and the second member has a plurality of outwardly extending projections which are engagable with the apertures. This arrangement facilitates an initial adjustment of length so that the headliner retainer can be flexibly snapped into place against the sagging headliner. Each of the outwardly extending projections are rotatably mounted on an axis which is eccentrically displaced with respect to each projection. The ends of the projections are provided with screwdriver-receiving slots so that they can be rotated once they have been directed through the apertures in the first member. This facilitates a tightening displacement due to the relative movement between the first and second members so as fixedly secure the headliner retainer in a final abutting relationship to the sagging headliner.
