Don't put the glue on too thick - a nice light covering on the original headliner, leave for a min to gum up a bit, the light spray on the fabric and put together

I did mine in an evening and i love it!

You need good glue. Some spray glues won't last in hot weather. I used wickes contact adhesive. Coated both layers and left for a few mins to go tacky. It took me a while to do mine to get it right.

Rush it, and you will be doing it again when the warm weather comes.
