Good evening many moons ago one of my first tasks after my car was built was to install a headlining , before doing so i decided to glue sound deadening to the roof then glue the headlining to that (my theory was the sound deadening would help to dull the noise of sitting in a fibre-glass box) . The glue was the correct sort for headlining , well it is not an easy task as the glue sticks (like s*** ) on contact , all was well and it looked good untill the past couple of weeks where we have had strong sunlight and high temperatures , my car sits outside and with it being a dark colour the interior does get hot . What has happened is the glue between the roof and the sound deadening goes soft and the weight of the sound deadening overcomes the stiction , not good so today it has been pulled off and all things being equal tomorrow a new section of headlining will be stuck back but with no sound deadening , Geoff .
