    Gorilla Glue will stick just aboput anything - just keep the panel pushed in good while it sets and don't use too much - the ooze is tough to deal with

    there is a product called shoe goo.... or also silicone glue in a tube... I have hung mirrors direct to the wall with silicone in the big tube (you need a caulking gun)

    I second the Gorilla Glue. I used it to re-attach the black retainers on the panel so the white clips can hold the panel to the door. That stuff is awesome!! Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Home Depot and several other places sell the stuff.

    jon, if you want the absolute best way to fix this, call me @ 917-915-1063.........I promise you it will look like new, and last forever. It is however time consuming......but the results are well worth it. If you doubt me, ask Bret, he's seen my method and was very impressed.

    This is EXACTLY what happened to me, it was after Momentum left it outside for a few months in the sun, my headliner is also falling apart as well. I used Gorilla Glue and it's perfect. Make sure you have some sort of hard vice in order for it to stay. That stuff works perfectly though.

    Does anyone have any clues on the headliner though?

    Like Chris said, Silicone glue, a product called "Goop". Sticks like crap in carpet.

    as for the headliner: there is no other way than to change it. There is 3 mm (former) foam in between the hard board and the fabrics. That is the actual problem. The foam on my car was just a rust-brown mess. I was before thinking about using a syringe and inject glue thru the material. Some have done it. Others have reglued parts. They all failed.
    How can one glue such a mess nicelly back onto the headliner board?
    That was my old one before replacing it
