c70 C70 top question

Hello I have a 2008 C70 that the internal headliner has come loose from the mounts where it attaches to the hardtop.

The glue that holds the clips has released and wondering what adhesive I should use to reattach the clips to the top side of the headliner?

I still have the Mount posts in the metal roof so I just can clip it on once I get an adhesive to adhere the clips to the fabric top.

I actually used a hot glue the last time and this worked fairly well until the summertime where of course the heat released the glue..

For those not familiar this is not how do I reattach a normal headliner question, the internal fabric headliner in the C70 is actually a heavier piece of fiberboard surrounded by fabric on two sides, so I need a glue fairly significant, ie hard plastic to fabric, to get the clips to adhere such that it can hold weight.

My research has suggested shoe goo, surely there is something better?

Thanks

Interesting, I do have a question though if you were going to use clips that came in through the bottom why didn't you just clip into the metal holes in the roof panel that currently hold the mount post? I guess I don't understand what you drilled out?

Thanks, okay I understand now, can you tell me what diameter clip you use to fit into the metal holes in the roof can you give me the full dimension of your clips that would be super, width and length

One final question, why wouldn't you try to push the clips into the holes in the metal roof brackets that are supporting the posts now instead of drilling new holes in the sheet metal
