No exposed sail panels....there are cardboard panels that are under the c-pillar(sail) area of the headliner...the only tack strips are the ones that surround the rear window. Otherwise, the headliner just glues to the parcel shelf area where the pillar and shelf panel meet, and also to the roof pillar at the quarter windows. At least this is how my '68 GTX and Satellite parts car were. I think the Road Runner may have been different. I hope I understood your post....

The cardboard sail panels were actually there to prevent the headliner from billowing / puffing out when you closed either the doors or the trunk. Unless you have the windows open, the sudden rush of air from closing the door or trunk will cause the headliner to "inflate" like a balloon in that area since the area behind it is all open and would be the path of least ressitance. Having the cardboard in place acts as a deflector so it will not cause the headliner to tear or become unglued and cause it to sag in that area.

I had come to the conclusion that the early 68 b-bodies had the one piece roof liner going all the way down to the bottom of the rear piller. This style did have a small piece of cardboard hidden under the liner that was held onto the piller by a single nail type pin. It is hard to find pictures of this style installed with no wrinkles. I spent hours making mine perfect.
The later 68 b-bodies that I have worked on, all had the 69 style roof liner that stops part way down the rear piller, and then uses the visible cardboard sail panels to cover the bottom of the piller. These cardboard panels are a little bigger than the earlier hidden style cardboard. Depending on the trim level of the car this cover can be either covered with vinyl roof liner material or just colored cardboard. It is held on with two door panel style clips. This style roof liner was much faster & easier to install without the wrinkles.
So, for anyone that wants the later 68 roof liner & sail panels, you need to order them for a 69 or they may send you the wrong one.
If you don't have these vertical gripper teeth on the rear piller then you need the 68 style roof liner and sail panel.

When I ordered my headliner back in 2000 from Legendary, I also ordered the cardboard panels which came through already covered in the material. Assuming this was correct, I installed them into my 69 charger. After the headliner installation guy cut down the extra material for the headliner, the job was done only to find out a few years later that it was NOT supposed to have the material attached to the cardboard but pulled over in front of it with it acting like an air deflector.
