I just did this job last week. Here's what I used:
and for the glue, professional stuff that I sprayed on with a Harbor Freight 1.7 mm tip paint gun:
I only used maybe 1/6th of the contents but since one of my hobbies is restoring old cars, I figure this glue will come in handy on future projects (3 going at the moment).
So my total cost was about $70 all-in.
I followed this excellent advice on youtube, highly recommended channel, this guy is the real deal:
The hardest part for me at least was removing the old glue, without damaging the fiberboard. I ended up having good success using a small copper wire brush. This also took the most time. The glue part was easy, just sprayed it on generously and let it dry for about 15 minutes. You can actually reposition and work the material quite easily, so long as you don't apply too much pressure with your palms. The headliner came out looking absolutely great, like new. My only problem now is, the sun visors need doing which I never noticed before since so much of the headliner was hanging down in shreds!
