I need a trick to attach a header pin to a GPS module.

Add some board. Brilliant

Attach to the roof of the module. Brilliant.

Solder a wire to that cut end. Then solder the header in. It might have to stick out a little more from the board than the original one.

Add a pin to the header. Brilliant x2.
