Best adhesive for headliner?
Just bought a new faux alcantara foam backed headliner for my 110, any suggestions on the best adhesive to use?

The roof is insulated as well if that makes any odds! Instagram @defender_ventures

EVO stick Trade stuff, I think its the 528 contact adhesive its fecking lethal but it works. A few chums have used it on car projects over the years.

I second 528 - I sprayed it on a thinned down through a 2.4 nozzle (I think). The headliner has even had a good soaking through the year, and hasn’t deteriorated its adhesion in any way. Thumbs Up

I also agree...but once on it will not come off so no second chance

I believe that it has to be a high temp contact adhesive due to the heat that comes through the roof during summer [or what summer we get]. I've got a 110 with part of the roof unlined [it's on the list of things to do] and it does get quite hot to touch at times.

I have used ebay item number eBay Item No. 113820316737 to fix all manner of carpet and soundproofing in my CSW. It gets my vote and if the (standard) dodgy vinyl headlining starts to lose its grip on the fibre moulding and droop in mine the same as happened in its predecessor I've already decided to use it to stick it back. Cheers, Guy.

Ambersil HS300, use it on everything I want to stick together, added bonus is it's cheap
