Whisperwall Headliner Replacement

We have a 1998 Trojan 440 Express with Whisperwall headliners that are currently sagging. The current vinyl is solid (non-perforated), which I believe is causing the issue since we've noticed that copious amounts of humidity causes the headliner to sag more than usual. We'd like to replace it with updated perforated vinyl so it has the ability to "breathe".

Has anyone replaced a Whisperwall headliner? If so, I'd sure love to know your experience. I am assuming that there would be no adhesive to deal with so hopefully it would be a cleaner job than trying to scrap/grind/cuss adhesive off? I'm also wondering how easy/difficult it is to stretch the vinyl for a tight looking fit and finish.

You may want to talk to a marine upholstery shop. I have planned to replace my V-berth headliner using a perforated vinyl. I have never heard of Whisperwall headliners until our post so I looked it up. It seems to be a lot different than what I am used to. Any concerns of increased noise or loss of insulation if going with a different type? I wish I could guide you on how too but it is different to what I have seen, Have you contacted Whisperwall headliners about your issue?

Anyone else?
