Convertible owners, can you help me out.
I was on a short ride yesterday and I noticed that the head liner on the right side (passenger side),was coming loose. I started trying to figure it out today. The attached two pictures are the best I could get, I partially lowered the roof so I could see what was holding the liner on the left hand side and could not find out what was keeping that side squared away, compared to the right side. So, if you have experienced this problem please share the cure.

I have no answer/ cure.
Yet I can add those sides of the h/l are held taunt with tension.
I would probably start by looking toward the rear B pillar area.
Sadly the material can stretch, so there may not be a cure, except replacement.
Please, OP, let us know what you find as a cure.
If replaced a DIY outline of the installation and where you found the part (I think OEM is discontinued) and its quality would be appreciated.
Good luck.

I probably should have stated that my car has the manual controlled top. I will be out of the country for a couple of weeks and when I get back I should have time to figure this out. Replacing the liner is fairly expensive so I'm going to try to hunt this down.

There are tension cords that run through similar like shoestring eyes riveted into top frame in strategic locations.
Some of my eyes have broke off at the anchor points, it appears the wrap around bracket part of eyes were brittle.
