Default Headliner fabric detached.

What is the best adhesive or procedure to reattach the fabric?

Thanks

I've used 3M's headliner spray adhesive in the past on cars, and it did exactly what I needed it to do. No issues, but remember to do light coats.

Product:

Remember to use something like a credit card to push the wrinkles out, working from the back of the sag to the opening.

Remember good ventilation, wear a mask, and I think I remember it being quite flammable.

Yeah, if you're doing it in a closed area, a mask and eye protection would be a good idea. When I used it, it was outside with all the doors open and a slight breeze, so I was good to go. Also, don't quote me on this, but I believe it was Permatex we used a year or so prior, and it started to loosen up on hot days, so we switched to the 3M and didn't have a problem.
