Hi Derek, planenut
It was '151 brand high strength spray glue' for <£4 from Yorkshire trader.
(It's called high strength - but depends on application method - can be low)

I was wary in case it was (1) too aggressive or (2) didn't give me enough time to work it or (3) reacted with or soaked through the cloth.

But it was fine and very easy to work with. I should have used more and got it further back to the edges.

Long term - I don't know if the chemicals might react

If anyone can advise how to get the chrome trims off without braking the lugs I'd be grateful!

Interesting. Maybe temperature swings upset things or pre-project drive glue and foam was better. I wasn't sure if it were cleaning products that reacted but there seemed quite a few thread here recently on sagging linings.

Cheers all.

Many thanks Alan.

Thank you, Alan, for the info. Sounds like a delayed Easter present will be coming my way.
Derek.

Hmm. Do you think that his glue would be an effective solution for a saggy roof lining too?

Probably no harm in trying. I put three stitches into mine when it started dropping over the front seats which have held pretty well. You use a largish curved needle & have to find foam that's still solid enough to hold them so it's not really practical to expect tidy stitches though mine have held for a couple of years now.

Has anyone else used the 151 adhesive as used by Alan?

I've only just seen this after not receiving any update notifications (again!). Thanks for this and the other info. I plan to give this keyhole surgery method a go once the weather stabilises enough. 🙂

Dougie.
