What "glue" for headlining on A pillar?
The headliner material (beige) covering the A pillars has come away from the pillars on both sides and is drooping and looking sad. I think it is as a consequence of a windscreen replacement a year or two ago.
Anyways... it looks like a simple job or pulling the pillars of and re-gluing the material onto the pillar. So question is - what glue would people recommend - I am guessing any common or garden variety will do the job - bout I dont want it soaking through the lining and being "visible" so is there a glue specific for headliners ? Thanks for any input - John |

Thanks but I am just planning to stick down the edges. So spray on will be a pain for such a relatively small area. I am thinking more of a "brush on" contact adhesive or straight from the tube.

I used copydex fabric glue. BIG mistake.
It came through the material which is very porous and looks a mess. Still don't know what I'm going to do to sort it out. But don't make my mistake. Try on an invisible area first.

3M 08080 (automotive trim adhesive) .... has about a 15min open time and an adjustable spray pattern, clean overspray with WD40 on an old dishcloth before it sets ... about £15 + vat
