[W126 Coupe] MBCOUPES Digest, Vol 60, Issue 11

[Mike R.]

Yep, LOL. My headliner is still in place after ten years. Two things I've
learned on a headliner. 
MB uses a foam backing to pad the headliner and it's the foam that fails,
not their glue. To use the same fabric again, the foam must be scraped off
so the new glue has something better than 20 year old foam to grab on to.
Headliners and hood pads MUST be glued back on using the high temperature
spray on contact adhesive. 

Later,
Mike R

Now that I think about it -- probably not.
I didn't have instructions with it as it was part of a headliner
kit that I didn't have anymore.

I guess this gives new meaning to RTFM :-)
