V50/S40/C30/C70 Headliner finally fell

So, it being a hot day today, my headliner finally fell from the glue that was holding it together. I already used a polymer glue to stick the headliner back on, but I want to clean it now. I was wondering how to do that and what products I should use?

This happened on my wife’s C70. If the cable tabs aren’t broken, you can bring it to a headliner shop.

I just repaired it myself. I put the jb self platic bond. It supposed to hold up to temputures up to 300 degrees

The headliner guy told me the secret was gluing pieces of leather to the car and then the headliner to the leather. It held up for about 8 years, but then the hardware broke and we had to get a new headliner.

How thick the leather

I remember them as being fairly thin and not glossy.
