Permatex 27828 Body Shop Heavy Duty Headliner and Carpet Adhesive, 16.75 oz Aerosol Can

I thought this product worked great. It applied easy enough. Yes, it's like silly string, but it has some organization to how it comes tumbling out of the can. It's simple to apply it uniformly. If you have followed the instructions, I'd imagine it would work perfectly. I had a scrupulously cleaned fiberglass board. I bought (2) cans and applied (3) coats on the first half of the board and the first half of the headliner each, with (5) minutes of dry time between coats. Right before I was set to apply the first half of the headliner, the wind kicked up, and the headliner folded over onto itself and immediately stuck in an inseparable way. So I ordered another can and another 3yds of headliner fabric. If when I re-do this project, and the adhesive fails, I'll update this. But I doubt that will be the case. I could tell from the adhesive product that when you follow the instructions, it would work terrifically. If you have a dusty board with remnant foam particles (not easy to remove, FWIW), don't apply enough coats, or don't let the product become tacky before applying the headliner, then I can see how the product would let you down. Follow the instructions, and you should be fine. And do it in a garage/shed, not outside. The wind is a cruel *****. UPDATE: Did the headliner in my small garage. Worked great. It is not easy to do - I had a few wrinkles in the headliner, but that's not the adhesive's fault. Definitely could help to have two people negotiating the headliner onto the board, starting at the middle and working outward to the ends that will be concealed by the trim. Overall, it looks great. Two weeks but later and it's stuck on the fiberglass really well, and I don't think the headliner will sag again in this old Jeep's lifetime.

Works great for headliner

This is the stuff! I had glued up some door cards and used Gorilla Glue contact cement and it just never really stuck good. After a couple of months watching it pull away I ended up ripping the foam backed vinyl off the cards to start over. In the meantime, I had this headliner I needed to put up so I ordered this stuff and commenced to give it a go. I have been working on this 1970 AMC Rebel resto for awhile and I thought working bondo was hard. Upholstery is a talent akin to voodoo I think. I follow directions pretty well and sprayed on 3 light coats on both the ceiling and my material, letting it dry 5 minutes between coats. My attempt would start in the center of the car and work my way to the rear windshield then work the front. Tip: DO NOT let whatever you are gluing fold together and touch! Somehow the left front side got folded over and that was all she wrote! It was STUCK LIKE CHUCK and as I tried to pull it apart, it destroyed the material. I got this because it was supposed to be heavy duty and be good up to 170 degrees - it gets hot in Texas - so it is indeed a very tacky, heavy adhesive. I expect that headliner to be up there well after I'm gone. Just take your time and make sure you have some helpers.

This adhesive is great....word of caution, you will need two cans to put in a new headliner. I wouldn't want you to get half way done and have to wait for another can to be delivered.

Good stuff, very very sticky so don't screw up and get a wrinkle, they're hard to get out. I put it down thick trying for 100% coverage and it took one and a half cans to do a regular cab Silverado.

I've done dozens of headliners with this glue. It's lasted five years so far in one of my first projects. An added bonus is if you use this in a closed up shop you can get higher than giraffe 🐈

My headliner by the passenger window was peeling off at the edge. After watching a few videos, I understood that I cannot expect an "as good as new" fix. This because this glue is really meant for a headliner replacement, in which the whole headliner is removed, along with the ceiling molding. This way, the new headliner can be applied to the moulding outside the vehicle, where you can spray the glue at the proper distance, so it doesn't stain the new headliner. Repair to existing headliners require spot spraying, in which the spray can must be close to the repair area. This causes the glue to stain the affected area of the headliner. That said, if your careful in re-applying the edge part of the headliner, and you've masked off areas you don't want to spray, the result will be an improvement over leaving the headliner just hanging down at the edge of the ceiling moulding. Suffice it to say, such fixes are for older vehicles that the owners are okay with a less than perfect repair.

I watched a YouTube video about how to fix your car headliner, and the YouTuber who fixed his own car headliner recommended this very product. I thought about purchasing a generic adhesive spray from my local big box hardware store, but reviews for those generic products were not great. So I decided to follow the recommendation of the YouTuber and bought this specific spray. I used this spray for the headliner in the front section of my vehicle and the rear section of my vehicle. The spray adhesive works. There is a very strong bonding adhesion. There are instructions stating that you should spray both sides of the headliner for effective adhesion. I did just that. The only caveat I would add is that using this spray (or any spray) can get messy very, very quickly. You can easily apply too much spray. If you are not careful in attaching one side of the headliner to the other side, you can easily get folds in your headliner which will result in an ugly looking finished headliner. I advise you to go slowly. I wish this spray came with a little nozzle spray (like the size of a tropicana straw) that you could attach to the spray opening. This would allow you to control the spray radius much more closely. In terms of the product effectiveness, it is fantastic. But actually getting a pretty-looking, polished finished result will all depend on your dexterity and experience in using this product.

Very effective

Used this to bond a headliner material, what a great product

très satisfaite du produit et du service avec Amazon

Easy to use - just follow instructions and allow the glue to get tacky, I applied it to both sides (foam headliner and plastic trim) and work a treat - though need many hands when installing

Did exactly what I wanted, the headliner in my truck was sagging around the doors (edge of the headliner not in the middle) and windshield, used this stuff and now it looks much better. Be careful when applying, once it’s stuck on there it’s really on there. It’s a little pricey but it works good
