Okay, I'll try for a more even-handed assessment:
-- Yes, this type of fix can work. My car was done up this way when I acquired it, and it worked pretty well for a while. The person who had done it used thin, springy steel strips. You can either run them crossways, wedging them into the beading over the door openings, or front-to-back, sticking them into the windshield weatherstrip and wedging them between the rollbar and the roof, depending on where your headliner is saggiest. If you use nicely finished metal, they look almost factory.
-- If you're tall, you need to position the strips so they're clear of your head. Otherwise, if your head (or helmet) bumps into the strips, they can pop out. If your headliner is really loose, it will then fall down on your head. Driving with your vision obscured by a vinyl sheet over your head is scary. I apologize if this sounds negative, but it happened to me and I didn't find it a positive experience...
