Which 3M glue?
There are so many different ones. Which one is the best for headliner install and where would one get it? I went to the auto paint store, figured they would have it and know which one but they were clueless. Thanks..

Re: Which 3M glue?
Higher the number the higher the sticky IIRC. 75 is what I have used for stereo crap, but I think you can get 90.
<edit> Super 77 is what I use.

Re: Which 3M glue?
Are you talking about the foam backed headliner material install? If so, then you can get away with a quart or two of just plain old Contact Cement and a cheapo spray gun from Wally Mart. Set the settings on the gun to spray a very thick trace and spray both the foam backing and the surface that you are mounting it to. let set for a few minutes and then stick material to surface. DO NOT OVERSPRAY or glue will soak through the material. It will come out looking like a buch of ribbons and not a spray paint coating. I have done it many times. Clean the gun with a lacquer thinner.

Re: Which 3M glue?
if you are talking about the vinal covered cardboard stock headliner, the factory used a thick glue, I just used a 1/2 tube of liquid nails in a caulking gun.

Re: Which 3M glue?
I used the 3m spray adhesive shown above. I never considered liquid nail, that stuff would definitely do the job.

Re: Which 3M glue?
I like to use GE Silicone II in a caulk tube. It's flexable, water tight and can be removed cleanly if you decide to later on. It goes on neat and easy too!. Just make sure to rub the ceiling down with alcohol really well and clean the back of the headliner also. I use a spare set of stock door panels wedged between the seat with a folded towel wrapped over each end of the edge of the panel that is up against the headliner to prevent marring the vinyl.
