Review: Good adhesive for tough projects - I’ve been using this 3M headliner adhesive for fixing some old car headliners, and it really holds well. i was worried it might be messy, but it went on smoothly and dried quickly. it’s been a few weeks, and the fabric hasn’t budged, even on the hot days when the interior gets stuffy 🚗. if you need something reliable that sticks heavy fabrics to metal, this is worth trying out. simple to apply and very effective.

The adhesive sprays evenly and provides a strong, secure bond. Application was straightforward, and the nozzle gave good control without clogging. After applying it, the fabric held firmly in place and hasn’t come loose since. The bond feels strong and durable. I also like that it doesn’t soak through the fabric when used as directed. For automotive interior repairs, this adhesive does exactly what it’s designed to do. Overall, this is a high-quality adhesive that delivers reliable results. Strong hold, easy to apply, and well worth it. I would definitely buy it again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Strong Hold, Perfect for Automotive & Upholstery Projects!
*by D***L on April 25, 2025*

I recently used the 3M Headliner & Fabric Adhesive for reattaching the headliner in my car, and I am thoroughly impressed! The 18.1 oz. aerosol can provides a generous amount of adhesive, which was more than enough for my entire project. The spray nozzle is easy to use and allows for a smooth, even application, which is key when you're working on large surfaces like headliners or fabric upholstery. The adhesive itself has a super strong hold—after applying, I pressed the headliner back into place, and it stayed secure with no issues. The bond dried quickly, but not so fast that I didn’t have time to adjust things as needed. I also appreciated that it didn’t leave behind any visible residue or mess, which makes for a much cleaner finish. I’ve used other adhesives in the past, but none have matched the effectiveness of this one, especially for fabric and headliner materials. It’s also versatile—works on various materials like cloth, vinyl, and more, making it perfect for other car upholstery repairs, home projects, or even craft projects. This 3M adhesive is a game-changer if you're looking for a reliable, long-lasting solution for fabric bonding. Highly recommend it for automotive repairs or any fabric-related projects!
