Default Question about t-top headliner

So i bought a new interior trim peice that goes on the underside of the t-top. As most repo interior parts, the fit isnt perfect. There is on the other hand a sticker on the inside that talks about using a little bit of adhesive to keep it attached.

Have any of you guys come along this problem? What type/brand of adhesive did you use?
Thanks!

Alot of the repop headliners, from what has been discussed on the forum, have had fitting problems and fasteners staying fastened.
I have heard that many have used a little adhesive at the fasteners to hold them together.
Like always, what they say, "they just don't make them, like they use to !!!"

Aint that the truth! It fits resonably well, just dosnt stay attatched. So back to the original question, what adhesive is best?

3M makes a two part adhesive, it is call "structural adhesive", you can get it at most of the auto dealers, that sell 3M products. It works quite well but you have to work fast. It has a quick set time.
