- 3M sells an aerosal adhesive that is designed for use in GM-style 'padded cloth
- on shell' construction. The can specifically states that an intended application
- is "lightweight headliners". Lesser adhesives do not hold up (literally) in the high
- heat of an automobile environment. They make an even more capable adhesive
- for underhood insulation retention. The average 3M spray adhesive sold in hobby
- stores will not work.
-
- I replaced the headliner once. It was fairly easy and came out looking very
- nice. Worst part of the job was procuring the plastic clips that necessarily
- snapped when I removed the trim pieces.
-
- I wondered why I waited so long to do this job.
