The original piece here had a special plastic hooked rib molded onto the 
headliner material. This is just a small triangle of headliner stuff with about 
10" of the white rib attached.

Yes, the metal is too stiff to bend and was not intended to. If you don't have 
the original parts you will probably have to wrap the headliner material in 
there and glue it into position.
