3) When first applied it gives you time to align the panel , You don't get that with tape or hot glue . installation is a "one and done" with those

4) It will withstand the heat once cured , No more droopy headliner .

Just like steel wool liquid nails has no business in your garage .
I can see your point. I’ll change mine to silicone on the back side of two pieces of Velcro strips. I’d like to know when I want it to come down, it’s going to come down without destroying the backing on the headliner.
