    What I'm using is made by 3M General Trim Adhesive says.. Clear high strength adhesive. Great for headliners, lightweight fabrics, and carpets. Heat and moisture resisitant.

    It works great but follow the directions. If you wait too long the glue no longer is tacty. Here's a photo of the can. Bought it in the auto section.

    AutoZone and O'Reilly's also have 3M 08088 - labels are sometimes black with red print but the same stuff. It was recommended for sticking the foil backed insulation to the interior and worked great for me. One tip I will offer - a new can has a nice fan pattern covering 4+ inches, but as you use it and set it aside the nozzle tends to plug a bit yielding more of a stream spray which just makes a mess. Keep a little container of lacquer thinner nearby (I use a baby food jar) - drop the nozzle in, give it a few shakes, and it will be good as new again.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
