Default Head liner attatchment

Is the head liner glued to the roof of a 1964 coupe? Are the replacement headlines worth while or are there better alternatives?

Thanks for your help.

The only thing that holds it up is the trim no glue, There is no correct 64 repro but the Al Knoch is the best there is, not to much money.

Although my Al Knoch was a great fit edge-to-edge it had one little portion that bulged down a tad near the middle. I shot some 3M Super Trim Adhesive up there and that was that. On my '63, unless somebody REALLY knows what an original should look like then it'd be hard to spot the repro. A slight difference in pattern and texture.

If you bought a Corvette America headliner don't even try to put it in. It will come apart on you after a few warm days - use Al Knoch's product.
