Re: [AMC-List] AMX Headliner, Center console

["RetroRalph" <retroralph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think what you s/b after is 3M General Trim Adhesive Clear - Part # 051135 
08088.

Or 3M Super Trim Adhesive part# 051135 08090... possibly...

And there is another 3M product for foam backed headliner  I think in part 
(051135) 08074.

They may have something else for gluing the fabric back onto the foam 
backing if it has pulled loose from the foam.   I was looking for that stuff 
once but then decided that foam backing was too crumbly and was 
disintegrating as I handled it so I just scraped it off the backer board and 
replaced it with new stuff.

I would look these products over and decide which of them that you need for 
just what you have to do  and buy the best suited.  It should be the right 
stuff for this kind of job.

A to whether or not ordinary contact cement would work for this, I don't 
know.  Seems like I tried some stuff out that kind of melted the plastic & 
didn't seem to work right.  But that was some of the new foam backed 
material for a headliner for my old Suburban.  I got the right 3M stuff at 
the fabric store where I got the headliner material.  That might have the 
part # 08074 stuff.

I think a good automotive parts store or else a fabric shop would have this 
stuff. It is for automotive application.
