I'm glad this thread got dredged up again, I am adding it to my favorites :-) I think I'm going to try something custom like Dodge did... probably flames and I might try two layers in different colors... or leave out the 3d effect and sew the two colors of cloth together first, then cover. Going to have to think about this a bit I want flames on my 87 coupe headliner to go along with my flameball shift knob :-)

Yeah well I'm glad this got pushed up on the forum too. Because (cry) I have bad news on my headliner project. The frigging thing sagged again in the head humps! So obviously my glue choice was CRAP. Crap I say! ------------------

I've done headliners in a variety of cars over the past 6 years and always used 3M FoamFast 74 on the headliners that have a foam backside. People I know went the fast/cheap route and used different types of glue but they either got discolorations or it started to sag within a few months but I haven't had any problems with mine.
My local car-upholstery shop recommended FoamFast and they've been restoring collector cars for 40 years.
They also recommended 3M Fastbond 30 when applying vinyls on the internal door panels and on other hard surfaces.

I noticed all the comments about 3M Super77 adhesive. Well, I wouldn't trust it to hold up my headliner either. But I did try 3M Super90. The headliner has been in the car for almost 6 months now. It's held up so far.

This thread has been extremely helpful! Add us to the "been there, done the headliner" list. Our headliner was in pretty bad shape. After some patch work last year we decided to bite the bullit and to replace it with the Fierostore fiberglass version. Both Master Tuner and Roger recommended using contact cement so that's what we did. We played around with both the DAP original and non-flammable formula. I was a bit concerned about having to lay the foam down perfectly the first time. By experimenting I found out that 1) Roger is absolutely correct, the non-flammable formula doesn't stick well at all and 2) the original formula will allow you to make subtle, minor adjustments if you do it gently yet quickly. For reference:
This works great: DAP Weldwood Original Contact Cement

I am really glad this thread has been so helpful even though I made the mistake of using the wrong glue. At least no one else will do that after reading this. Thanks for kepping it alive. ------------------

Has anyone tried using 3m 8088? I had a can of 8090 in my hand today and directions said to not use
8090 on foam backed fabric and instead use 8088. I have 2 Fieros and one Saab 900 to do.
