I used normal spray adhesive. The sort of stuff you'd stick cloth to a sub box with. Worked a treat.

iv changed the roof lining on a jag xj6 an i thought it was goin to be a horrible job but it wasnt to bad make sure your glue is slightly tacky otherwise it take ages to stay in the correct place. good luck

It's fiddly and messy, just take your time and do a bit at a time.

Don't attempt the whole thing in one go as it'll just de-tension all the time. Do one side or front, fit the respective window/door seal, then do the opposite side or front.

Clothes pegs were my friend.
