I know there's loads of threads on 'em, but this is about the sagging arses around the alpine lights (the curved sausage side windows). I've tried industrial strength velcro, hard as nails .... to no avail. My next idea is expanding foam and propping some 2 x 1 strips down the sides of the headliner for 24 hours. Has anyone else tried this?? Cheers in advance if you respond.

Aye, Mackers. I'm also confused as to what you mean.
The linings consist of a preformed, fibre board type stuff. On to this is glued the vinyl, which has a thin, foam back. This foam turns to dust with age and so the vinyl falls away from the preformed board.

If it's the board that's sagging then you can glue or screw some strips of wood 2"x1" should be fine. I had a sagging front headliner caused by the preformed board getting damp over time. I dried it out and screwed wooden strips to it and this stopped any sagging

Moroccan scaffold
Sunnyish here. Scaffold down. It's absolutely done the job so I'd recommend bunging the expanding foam straw up either side and pulling the trigger. A bit of trimming to do and a bit of a bump but that's my microwave module. I can get hairdryer out now and stick back the bubbles.

Noy yet. The headliner carcass was like a wet egg box when I bought the tratter last Oct, but after a gallon of bleach to kill the mould I emulsioned it to stiffen, used fibreglass kit then spray fixed vinyl from my local fabric shop. It was never gonna look perfect cos the carcass was shagged, but it looks tons better. The bubbles in the vinyl go back when I heat em up cos it reactivates the glue beneath, but the whole thing was sagging around the alpines cos the carcass isn't rigid in itself, so not the covering that was sagged. The expanding foam's done the trick in adhering the carcass to the roof now, so all's fine again.

We went on a day trip across to Morocco and saw scaffolding like the one I posted and worse, but not as bad as yours
They weren't using bamboo though, just the straightest branches they could find. What got me was one large, random and precarious structure was above a busy footpath and there was nothing to stop people walking along the footpath underneath.
