What is the best stuff to use for putting in a new headliner? I don't want to mess it up.

thanks,
don

i used a heat-resistant contact cement that i got from jcwhitney it's listed in the section with the sound deading,has worked real good been 3years since i did it no problems. the big thing is to spend alot of time cleaning the surface , spray on the cab roof and on the headliner wait about 10minutes b-4 putting it up in place and it's alot easier to do with 2people

Thanks for the pick CD but was hoping more for a pick without the trim.

Some good construction adhesive like PL400 works also. 5 yrs and no sags. I also made a prop to keep it up tight to the ceiling while it dried all night. I did'nt want any chrome trim and it looks sweeeet.
