Banging Somewhere In The Back Over Bumps?

Well, I followed FTE's posters, and it sure wasn't the rear slider, the shock mounts, or the bed either. By mistake, I just happened to be watching the headliner as I went over a series of speed bumps in the parking lot at work. It is the headliner. The liner in my Screw actually sags a little in the middle (about by tyhe dome light) and bounces up and down to the point that the top of the dome light is hitting the underside of the roof shell and makes the noise. To verify it, I held the headliner and went over the speed bumps again, and BINGO, no noise or banging. Hope this helps those others pulling their hair out. Now, to find the fix.

FTE, you actually mean that I am the only one who is experiencing this? Nobody else has found the headliner to be the problem here? I guess I'll have a hard time getting the dealer to fix it under some TSB or recall, eh?

i have sounds coming from back there... but it's not the headlinder... i pushed up on my headliner and cou;dn't get it to touch the top of the roof... i didn't push hard.. but it was pretty firm and i didn't want to push too hard and break anything.... my sounds only happen when going slow to medium speeds over normal bumps in the road....
