To do it properly you'll need to remove the whole roof lining from the car (not just the soft lining, the whole thing), You can do it in the car but may not be as succesful as it keeps trying to droop down while you're trying to stick it back up.

Peel back the section that is coming loose (if you just want to fix that section), spray with contact adhesive (from Bunnings, Supercheap, etc) on BOTH the soft roof lining and the backing panel (not too much that it soaks through), leave until it's tacky both sides then pull the soft lining back over where it needs to go (holding it up over the top, not letting it touch yet) then progressively press the two sections together working towards the outside. It's hard to explain so hopefully that makes sense!

Dont use contact adhesive it soaks thru and gets clumpy , smells like hell for a while

Use Whorth headliner spray glue from autopaint shop , most others fail in the heat , or 3m super trim adheasive #90

Spotlight sells microfiber suede recover it , much nicer in black suede

To remove lay the seats down and roll down the windows to have room to slide it out easy

Its fragile so becareful

And remove the saggy cloth it you recover it so its smoothe or glue it down first

mine is doing this a little too...but its not the liner peeling off the backing. its the whole backing falling off the roof, just replace the old double sided tape that used to hold it up there.

double check that yours isnt the same before you go buying expensive spray glues etc.

Mines doing the exact same thing, any recommendations on double sided tape to use? 3M I assume.

I remember being impressed by 3M as a company after studying a case study about them in uni, so personally I trust them as a company to provide quality products and would choose them among others. Very good R&D

sorry mate not mean to be rude/highjack your topic,where i can buy double sided tape and what brand? mine peeling off too...thanks guys.

Bunnings sells cheap white stuff

Autopaint store sells the 3m green semi strong removable

Or red backed non removable without force or remover soaked rag

Red is what car emblems and side trim is held on with

Most auto stores should sell a spray adhesive for roof linings. Our go to your local hardware shop and buy a can of spray contact adhesive. Will cost less than $20 (i bought some today for a different use). Generally though you will need a new roof lining, because it is the foam becoming brittle that is causing the lining to sag.

Sorry, should have been more specific. The lining is fine, the drooping is where the headliner board (ie the mdf or whatever it is) attaches to the metal roof of the car. There are 3 or 4 contact points at the rear windscreen for this. I need to take another look, but I'm guessing there are Velcro pads or similar that are no longer glued on. New Velcro on loctite 401 could do the trick, spray adhesive sounds more like for the fabric. Just thought there may be a specific hi-temp rated interior glue.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
