Headliner Glue??

Postby helgeseg on Wed Nov 26, 2008 11:15 am

I'm putting my '82 SC together after my son and I painted it. After embezzeling a few dozen binder clips from work we're ready to install the new headliner. Does anyone have any recommendations for glue? I'd rather not use the yellow/black snot as it is a pain to work with. Thanks, Erik

Erik:

My '83 SC headliner was dangling on top of the seats when I bought it. A little contact cement purchased at Home Depot worked great. I just used a very small brush, document clips, and a piece of wood to raise the moving part of the sunroof off the metal frame of the roof line. Be sure to place the cement on both the framework, and the fabric. Let the cement dry for 24-hours, as per instructions.

You can also use carpet-glue (contact cement in spray form), but it's harder to work with, in my opinion.

Good luck! PM me if you want additional info.
