My boat has a removable headliner held in place by battens. Underneath the headliner is two layers of 1/8" ply nailed into the fiberglass of the cabin top. I cannot figure out why that ply is there. Any ideas?

Likely to smooth out the surface.

Probably put there because they knew you would have to replace it one day.
Actually the 1/8" ply is probably supposed to support the fabric below it.
Not a fan of headliners.
