Default Headliner Adhesive

Hi All,
It's getting hot outside and I recently switched from my lexan top to the solid/insulated one. Over the years the liner has developed a sag. Yesterday it came completely off. I live in Vegas so I imagine the heat is a large factor. Can anyone suggest a spray adhesive that will hold up to the heat and wont dissolve the liner?

That's 3M #80 spray adhesive. After installation with the adhesive, leave the top in an open space for about 3-4 days before use. The fumes are very strong so use caution.

If this is a typical headliner (I don't have a solid top) then it's the foam behibd the cloth that is breaking down causing it. You'll likely have to scrape off the failing foam or really soak it in glue to have any chance of it staying up.
