You should have metal bars that slide through little stiched channels about 3 or 4 of them on the headlining ,this locate into holes each side in the roof of the shell ,then use some glue or double sided tape around the window and door apertures

Sunroof models have one metal rod, near the rear of the headlining. its held on round the sides as mentioned, then the middle is held in round the sunroof, the grey strip holds it down.

Weirdly bud im in the same situation with the same car (grey s2). Im off just now with a buggered back so if u get in about it, could u post up some pics please. Never had the roof lining off before. Really need to get cracking. There is no rubber surround round the inside of the sunroof n no fuck me handles! Fairy certain its a homemade roof lining tbh. Guff job of it aswell.
