A 12-inch section of my roof liner has pulled away from the edge guard, at the perimeter of the sunroof opening. When this happened before I used generic contact cement from the hardware store (Barge Original All Purpose Cement) to put it back into place, but that only worked for a few months, and now the cement is no longer doing its job. I think the cement is not rated for a high enough temp, so I looked at the Barge MSDS but didn't find anything about temp ratings. I need to use cement because the liner is taut and the edge guard alone won't hold it in place.

Any suggestions on cement to use?

Thanks,

Barge is awesome stuff and should have worked just fine if you used it correctly. We used to use it for glueing soles onto hiking shoes and I had friends that would resole climbing shoes using the stuff.

You do know how to use contact adhesive, right?

Yes I know how to use it. Does it hold up in the hot temps that a black interior see?

It's been holding up in my car for a few years, so yes.

I used that 3M Weatherstrip adhesive in the red tube. I only did the job a couple of weeks ago before a track event and wanted to secure it from blowing off at 110 mph . The 3M stuff is probably OEM for some mfgrs; I used it to glue in a 911 Targa seal last year and it works really well. Keep it off your hands...I'm not kidding.
