Hood Liner Fix
Noticed today that a corner of my hood liner is pulling away from the backing. Several other places at the edge that look like its going to happen too. Probably not long for the world and will need a replace, but for now what could I use to reseal the cover to the backing together? Thanks

Might try a fabric glue.

I used spray fabric glue on mine.
Spray a medium coat into the edge and let it sit about 3 or 4 minutes. Then wrap some wax paper around the edge and clamp with aligator clips and small wooden blocks. This will give you the hard pressed edge you are looking for. The wax paper keeps the glue from sticking to the blocks.
I repaired several places with this procedure and after painting it looks like a new one.
