For glue use the 3M 90 High strength over the super 77, I've had mixed results using the 77 as the replacement liners only stay up for a year or two, some started sagging partially. The last one I did using the 90 has been good for a year so far.

When I got my daytona, the fabric on the roof was completely spent... I yanked the headliner board out and peeled the fabric off it... as for the foam... I found a scrub brush (No soap, no water... just a dry, clean plastic brush) made short work of the remaining foam/glue... where I went wrong was I decided to go fancy with it... I glued foam wrap (The thin stuff) on the board for padding... and then used black leather-grain vinyl.... I found the heavy dutiest spray adhesive I could find for interiors... and the vinyl proved too heavy... (Or maybe because the interior of the car is black and in the sun it gets hot enough to reduce matter to plasma). I'm going to yank it out one of these days and redo it.. perhaps use some sort of caulk smeared thin... because the vinyl looked so damned good...

By the sounds of it, the headliner of my rampage shouldn't be as hard to get out as some of the other cars....I have a little roof =)

That really didn't help you any, I am just thinkin I am lucky after hearing the trouble other people had...

yup rampage headliners are EASY- just like doing a pickup truck.
i wouldnt use the 3M 90 glue- its too thick and it can show thru the headliner material. the 3M general trim adhesive works great if you dont wana use the super77, just remember you gotta spray the material AND the board for it to work.
if you wana do vynil leather suede aligator ostrich , dont use any padding at all
use vynil top adhesive for the glue, and and old spray gun to apply it. it'll come out looking like silly string, but thats the only way you'll be able to get the heavier materials like vinyl or leather to stay up.i prefer suede, looks nice as hell and still has a soft feel.
vynil leather etc, before you spray it down with the glue, leave it out in the sun for an hour or so so its nice and warm, makes it much more pliable and easier to work into the curved areas.
