hey have gotten bored and removed my roof linning
only did it because it was sagging like no tommorow so im thinking of removing the lose foam pieces and re gluing it back together im guessing 1/8th at a time i managed to remove the linning with out damaging it to much so its all re useable i believe so i was curious what glue to use id really like to use silcone but its such a thin "carpet" that it would seep through thank you in advance everyone i should have really made a how to tutortial but being in a wheel chair n crutches was a real pain in the a$$ to |

You really need new material. as it is backed by foam aswell.
Use spray on contact adhesive. You need to spray it on and allow it to dry a tad to get tacky. Then roll on. Is alot harder than it seems. Takes some skill to do it well.

It will be a vast improvement regardless.
I would def look at getting some new material though. Most trimmers have it.
