Stuck Headliner - Solutions for Peeling & Gluing Octavia 1 Car Model (Age 19 Years)

Hello all,
I have a problem with the headlining peeling over the driver's seat. The problem is that the very thin material in the middle of the soffit is peeled off, all edges are perfectly fine. Help me, suggest how and how best to glue it so as not to pull the whole headlining, because something feels like that when I move it will not assemble - car 19 years - Octavia 1.

You do nothing, you have to replace the headlining or to be re-wrapped with new material (unprofitable).

I used it

Syringe, needle, some glue quickly drying and spot-coat - it will not look nice, but at least it will not scratch your head.

1.5 sq m of gray ceiling material, ie 1m x 1.5m, costs 18 PLN in the warehouse plus a spray adhesive can and 3 hours of work.

A friend rewrote this topic and prices for the service are from space. For material + labor prices from PLN 400 upwards without disassembly from the car. He was supposed to do it himself. Stimulants from 300. He bought material, glue and in one afternoon he glued no worse than he would have it would not be one upholsterer. No philosophy but a bit of spin-off.

I did it myself, in one afternoon and without knowledge of the subject. About 50 zlotys went out and a little spin-up, but a station wagon, it was easy to get out the headlining.

If you do it yourself, it is most profitable - the roof liner breaks down not because it releases glue
which material is glued to cardboard or other plywood only from old age, a sponge disintegrates, as you cover the old material itself, the glue will pass through the material and the stains will be visible, the only sensible option is a new material, you can also change the color for example black, the car looks quite interesting.

A friend stuck a polar fleece.

I would like to advise against all the glue of the ANSER company, Strong upholstery for glueing the headlining. After a year of gluing, the roof liner began to fall off.
For the simple reason that I did not pay attention before. The maximum temperature that the glue can withstand. And this is the most important parameter just behind durability.
Perhaps this adhesive is great for applications where the upholstery is not subjected to high temperatures. But not to the car, where the car body heats up in the sun during hot weather to very high temperatures. And I've been choosing glue for so long ...

So, pay attention to the temperature the adhesive can withstand. There are probably three companies that declare 120/130 degrees.
PS: I can not imagine another glue than a spray. It is important that the nozzle is adjusted.

It is also important to remove the old glue and sponge carefully!

Yes, that's the basis, without it a sunny summer is enough and the headliner is on its head again.

Also, when you glue the headliner partly, you need to check the condition of the material, because if from the inside everything crumbles and crumbles, there is no way out - the material is out, otherwise you will have to glue, so it's a pity. My headliner is not smooth, just more carpet-like, with hair I just cut the headliner with a knife, it was ok inside, the sponge did not crumble so I sprayed the adhesive with the spray on the old material and after 3 min glued haha and there are no marks after cutting

I took the glue they write about and it holds tight for now; P but I will wait for the heat and then I will celebrate

I'll throw in 3 cents. Maybe not in the topic of sticking, but the reasons for unsticking.
Golf 3, almost 30 years old. After a year of use, I have peeled off the factory roof lining. I took off, cleaned the remains of the sponge etc ... New fabric glued to the Anser adhesive spray upholstery. After winter, in the spring it began to fall off again. Why did everything last 30 years, and now even a new fabric peels off after a few months?

I am almost sure that I was at fault by carrying all this time in the trunk of emergency 5 L canisters with gasoline - it turned out to have a slightly leaky cap - after a few days' stop it was necessary to ventilate the car with a pungent smell. Most likely, the fumes dissolved the glue or sponge of the original soffit and then the one made by me.

In my second car, to which I took the canister less often, the headlining also started to stick off here and there ...

Gluing old material is pointless. He always lets go. Only new material.
