Title: Works great for car headliner. Must be careful when applying
Review: I watched a YouTube video about how to fix your car headliner, and the YouTuber who fixed his own car headliner recommended this very product. I thought about purchasing a generic adhesive spray from my local big box hardware store, but reviews for those generic products were not great. So I decided to follow the recommendation of the YouTuber and bought this specific spray.I used this spray for the headliner in the front section of my vehicle and the rear section of my vehicle. The spray adhesive works. There is a very strong bonding adhesion. There are instructions stating that you should spray both sides of the headliner for effective adhesion. I did just that.The only caveat I would add is that using this spray (or any spray) can get messy very, very quickly. You can easily apply too much spray. If you are not careful in attaching one side of the headliner to the other side, you can easily get folds in your headliner which will result in an ugly looking finished headliner. I advise you to go slowly.I wish this spray came with a little nozzle spray (like the size of a tropicana straw) that you could attach to the spray opening. This would allow you to control the spray radius much more closely.In terms of the product effectiveness, it is fantastic. But actually getting a pretty-looking, polished finished result will all depend on your dexterity and experience in using this product.

Title: Does it’s job – just don’t use it outside
Review: I thought this product worked great. It applied easy enough. Yes, it’s like silly string, but it has some organization to how it comes tumbling out of the can. It’s simple to apply it uniformly. If you have followed the instructions, I’d imagine it would work perfectly.I had a scrupulously cleaned fiberglass board. I bought (2) cans and applied (3) coats on the first half of the board and the first half of the headliner each, with (5) minutes of dry time between coats. Right before I was set to apply the first half of the headliner, the wind kicked up, and the headliner folded over onto itself and immediately stuck in an inseparable way. So I ordered another can and another 3yds of headliner fabric. If when I re-do this project, and the adhesive fails, I’ll update this. But I doubt that will be the case.I could tell from the adhesive product that when you follow the instructions, it would work terrifically. If you have a dusty board with remnant foam particles (not easy to remove, FWIW), don’t apply enough coats, or don’t let the product become tacky before applying the headliner, then I can see how the product would let you down. Follow the instructions, and you should be fine. And do it in a garage/shed, not outside. The wind is a cruel *****.UPDATE: Did the headliner in my small garage. Worked great. It is not easy to do – I had a few wrinkles in the headliner, but that’s not the adhesive’s fault. Definitely could help to have two people negotiating the headliner onto the board, starting at the middle and working outward to the ends that will be concealed by the trim. Overall, it looks great. Two weeks but later and it’s stuck on the fiberglass really well, and I don’t think the headliner will sag again in this old Jeep’s lifetime.

Title: Did My 2001 Buick Headliner Justice
Review: The headliner in my beautiful 23 year old LeSabre began coming down at the rear window. After watching some videos and doing research, Permatex 27828 Headliner Adhesive offered the best bang for the buck. It’s a high-quality adhesive that gets the job done while saving you money over the 3M comparable headliner adhesive. There are many adhesives out there and most bleed through the headliner and stain it, and don’t work over the long haul.Spray both surfaces, wait 5 minutes and carefully reattach your headliner. No stains and so far, so good. I was impressed with the quality of the adhesion and that unlike the cheap spray adhesives, no bleed through. Great product.Read and follow the directions, and take your time, and the Permatex won’t let you down (or your headliner).

Title: Good adhesive
Review: I sprayed on the headliner of my car in the rear area.It sticks good ,you just have to make sure you aim properly because it can get all over areas you don’t want.Also the glue itself can soak into headliner leaving it with a stain look because of the glue seen from the other side.But it works well,my headliner no longer falls down around the edges.

Title: Works pretty good, if expectations are reasonable
Review: My headliner by the passenger window was peeling off at the edge. After watching a few videos, I understood that I cannot expect an “as good as new” fix. This because this glue is really meant for a headliner replacement, in which the whole headliner is removed, along with the ceiling molding. This way, the new headliner can be applied to the moulding outside the vehicle, where you can spray the glue at the proper distance, so it doesn’t stain the new headliner. Repair to existing headliners require spot spraying, in which the spray can must be close to the repair area. This causes the glue to stain the affected area of the headliner. That said, if your careful in re-applying the edge part of the headliner, and you’ve masked off areas you don’t want to spray, the result will be an improvement over leaving the headliner just hanging down at the edge of the ceiling moulding. Suffice it to say, such fixes are for older vehicles that the owners are okay with a less than perfect repair.

Title: Seems to stick better than gorilla
Review: Like how it sticks so well and the way it sprays from the can. It empties quickly so buy a few extra. Great quality. Recommend and buy again.

Title: Bought for headliner
Review: The headliner in my son’s truck has been falling down. This was recommended by a friend who does car detailing. Won’t be able to apply it until the weather gets warmer.

Review: Did exactly what I wanted, the headliner in my truck was sagging around the doors (edge of the headliner not in the middle) and windshield, used this stuff and now it looks much better. Be careful when applying, once itâs stuck on there itâs really on there. Itâs a little pricey but it works good
