New Headliner

I received my new headliner kit from Hawks today. Very good people to deal with!

My original headliner had 3 clips across the front by the windshield. The Hawks headliner does not. Just wondering if the sun visors are enough to hold it up along the front?

No provision to even put the hooks? They just twist 90deg and come right out in a stock headliner.

If the new liner is glass then it would be strong enough across to hold up by the two visors. Is it glass or more like the stock one? If it's like the stock one then you are gonna need those retainers. I have no experence with the headliner in question.

It's the fiberglass or something similar. There are no provisions for the clips. I'll call Hawks in the am. Just curious what others had to say.
