Use ¾" #10 and tacks you will be fine. Spray some hi-tack adhesive onto the roof rib to temporarily attach to and place 3 or 4 tacks across the headliner listing and keep working it until you know you have it pulled taunt. Sometimes using a drapery steamer is your friend to work the wrinkles out. When you are finished aligning and smoothing, go back and tap the tack in to set the head against the listing.
