I've seen a couple (including car I bought) done similarly with thin, springy strips of steel; plastic molding is a great idea as it should work similarly but be less conspicuous.
However, it might be likely to have the same problem I had on my car -- hit one of the strips with my head, strips came down, so did headliner. This was particularly exciting as it happened on-course during an autocross -- watchers got a big laugh seeing the guy in the funny little car suddenly trying to negotiate the course with a big sheet of vinyl draped over his head. Of course, my head wouldn't have hit the strip if I hadn't been wearing a helmet, so for street driving it might not be a problem... still, if I were going to do this again I might try to figure out some way of securing the strips to the visor bar and roll bar, instead of just relying on spring tension to wedge them in place.
