And here's how she looks topless. That roof has been on there for over 26+ years, now.

Time to clean off the old adhesive on the underside. It was some type of green epoxy resin. Some areas were flaking but others stuck like...glue. So I got out a heat gun and used my wife's oil-paint palette knife. That worked great. All I had to do was slip the blade under a loose spot and then gently slide it along and most of the outer perimeter glue came off several feet at a time.

I then used the 3M 08327 Semi-Rigid Parts Repair epoxy and put down a bead in the same areas where the old green glue was. I then placed the headliner panel on it and covered it with some old towels and around 45 pounds of weights to press it in place. The 08327 cures in around 5 minutes so you have to work rapidly in laying down the glue.
