Assuming there is not actually a flaw in your roof that needs fixing, you can add mass or bracing. I only mention the concern of a flaw, because the resonant frequency of the roof panel is about 50 hz, which means it shouldn't sound anything like a snapple top, which is at least 1000 hz
If there's snapping, something's loose.
If it's not snapping, but booming that's the problem, you can brace, or add mass: http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/4822/roof9tr.jpg

is the roof flopping/slapping against the roof cross member/support?
If so just go buy some adhesive backed foam, or go get some water pipe insulation foam sleeves (black 1/4" foam round tube with a slit in it, incase your not familiar with it, any big box home center like lowes or home depot has it) cut it in half, and slip it in the void between the supprt and the roof panel. This should cushion the slapping noise.

My 93 did this popping noise when I took the headliner out. If you were to do as some have said and put a liner back in or some sort of matting I think it would either stop or at least get to a level of sound you could endure.

I second that it's the sheetmetal skin slapping against the crossmembers. They really attached the crossmembers to the room, they only glued them on. Well after a number of years in the sun that glue goes away and they seperate. You can glue them back in if you like to get rid of the sound.
Whle you're in there you can create some more bracing if you'd like. Just follow the form of the original bracing (so as not to interfere with the headliner) only make it beefier. If you weld I'd consider spot welding them in as well.

Oh no!
That's the noise it makes right before it folds like a taco!
Be careful!
