targa headliner

Does anyone have a good glue suggestion for attaching a headliner to a targa top? Mine is falling down. It appears the factory adhesive will melt under the FL sun. I have used the 3m pro spray adhesive on a different veh, and it would not hold up either.

I used Rhino Glue on the back glass on my convertible top. It has held very well in San Antonio sun for two years. Good luck.

I took the headliner down on three sides, sprayed "Loctite" adhesive spray then put back the headliner and rolled it back in place, still holding up in the hot Florida sun and heat.

Why not just get one that clips into place-no glue needed. There are several different ones, some clip in , some have suction cups, etc... but I have this one and it works great.

Thank you! I think this sounds like the plan.

Thank you Vettemanjack for the message, but they are suggesting to use the 3m adhesive. I have used this glue on a diff veh and it releases when interior temps get high.
