Best spray can glue that you can buy. We have humid hot summers and I have never seen super 77 break down or let go.

Another adheasive possibility if you still plan on covering the stock headliner would be to use solvent based contact cement. Comes in quart or gallon cans, can be sprayed with a cheap compressor based paint gun and definately works. Most upholstery shops use a similar product when fabric or foam needs to be adheared to something. Recommend a little practice before you tackle the headliner though.

p.s. works well with fabrics or vinyls.

second on the contact cement. i used to build yachts and we used 77 for light simple contours. cement for everything else. i live in central florida and tried repairing a sagging headline by opening the edge of the headliner and spraying 77 in, let it tack, and then pressed it back into position. it worked... for about a day. interior temps down here easily hit 130's with humidity in the 80's and 90's. when using either, apply to both surfaces, let it tack(dry til it's tacky), and then join. personally, i would give the upholsterer $50 and be done with it. If there were no seams in the liner, i would do it myself. vinyl is very durable and easy to clean. that's why boats are chock full of it.
