I re-glued my headliner some years back. Actually I did it twice. (Don't
use 3M 777) I pulled off the saggy liner and then removed the molded
backing. The sun roof area is very fragile so be careful. On the second
attempt I used Vinyl base adhesive and applied it with a scalloped trowel
to the backing and carefully positioned the headliner over the adhesive and
pressed. Before gluing I cleaned the decomposed foam (and the failed 777)
the best I could with paint thinner and a rag. I washed the head liner with
laundry detergent and water after the thinner. I had more trouble getting
the 777 off than any thing else. After gluing, I let the headliner assembly
dry for a couple of days before putting back in. That was in 1996 It is
still is holding up nicely. Except for the tears I inflicted at the sun
roof corners, you can't tell it has been re-glued.
