Glueing Droopy Car HeadlinerThis is not the first car that I've owned that's thin ceiling material started to droop down, but I finally created a way to fix it!

After experimenting I found one glue that worked along with a little help from a few pieces of cardboard to hold it in place until it dried.

Total Time: 1 hour including dry time

Supplies:

  • Gorilla glue
  • a few pieces of cardboard
  • spritz of water

Steps:

  1. After trying both tacky glue and rubber cement (neither worked) I tried Gorilla Glue for this project.

  3. You must "lightly" moisten, with water, one side of the project that you are gluing together. Don't use tons of glue, it expands a bit bigger when it makes contact with the moisture. Read glue instructions.
  4. Use the glue nozzle to run some glue along one side of the loose material (or preferably directly onto the ceiling where the material separated from in the first place, your choice) and push the two pieces together.
  5. The "trick" I used was to squeeze the two pieces together using a piece of cardboard wedged in between the top and bottom of the window. See photo. That was like clamping them together in a very awkward spot. This project needs the clamping/pressure to adhere the two materials.

  7. Leave it for 30-60 minutes and remove the wedge!
  8. Good to Go~
