Man, I hope you guys are wrong about the adhesive. It will go faster the second time around but I don't want to do it too often!

I do a lot of these headliners and the spray can adhesive will last a few weeks before it starts to sag so here is a professional salution to this problem.Go to Home Depot and get the medium size can of contact cement with two cheap paint brushes then paint the cement covering all area on the headliner also on the back of the liner material then let it dry about 20 to 30 mins then carefully apply the liner from the middle out to the corners and there is no chance for error because once you lay it down it will stick for life. ------------------

I can't really tell here - did you coat the fiberboard headliner with resin? If you use resin to stiffent the board, can you still get it into the vehicle? Good job, BTW - it looks brand new!

No, I only used the resin as a repair on the backside and to strengthen it in some weak points. You are right, the board needs to flex to fit properly. Thanks for the compliment.

i just pulled mine, it's an '84 with sunroof. there are 2 clips about 2 inches forward of the rear edge of the panel that go up into the roof frame. aside from that and the plastic trim strip around the opening, i'm not seeing any difference from the non-sunroof. unfortunately the "general purpose spray adhesive" i bought specifically says "not for use on headliners". 
back to the store! they exchanged it for a can of permatex headliner adhesive, which i'm trying now. i will report results. [This message has been edited by lurker (edited 10-28-2003).]

I did mine the first time with Super 77 - it lasted about a week before it started falling down. Wish I'd read the forums more carefully first...

Your right, the job will go faster the second time around. I know because I have a solid roof and I used the 3M Super 77 and mine lasted about a month. I have not redone it again yet, I just pulled it out. I suspect that the tension from the headliner being streched over the humps eventually pulls it loose. ------------------
