i wish i had seen this thread earlier maybe i could have helped out a bit.. i heard too many stories of the glue not holding so i went one step further.
i took some of the material i was using to the local upholstry shop and had some upholstry buttons made.. 12 buttons cost me like 10 bucks.. once the fabric was glued i then pushed the buttons through the material and headliner .. its been almost 2 yrs now and this stuff has not moved .. that carpet may be kinda heavy so keep the buttons in mind... camo is not everyones cup of tea but .. here is mine if you look close you can see the buttons

Kind of reviving a thread here, but I am lining up to do this when I get the Fabric and time to do it. My headliner is ripped & wearing out in spots. Cant seem to find any Tan interior in any XJs at the yards that have anything worth salvaging so...
Ordered USA made Desert Tan Digital Camo Ripstop / Stain resistant fabric. Military stuff. It should be a good match to the interior BLACK & TAN. The Fabric looks like this:
I'll post up the progress when I get there.

spray adhesive from JOAN's...the cheapo stuff works better thant eh expensive stuff....just make sure ALL the foam is off and you spray both surfaces...they need to be tacky then Adhere....if you can get something to press them together that helps a lot too.....
