Hothead Headliners
I got a set of the Hothead Headliners for my 2-Door JK. The adhesive that came with them didn't make it 12 hours before they came crashing down. I pulled them back out and used 3M velcro and now I'm having the same issue. Any suggestions on making these thing stick?

Clean and dry the inside roof prior to sticking the Velcro. Stick Velcro to headliner first and press the whole thing up and then leave it. That's what we did with my wife's and have had no problems. Make sure it is warm in the cab as well.

Have had two Hotheads in two JK's and had no problems at all. Did you use the template included? I put my last one in with the velcro sticking to the headliner-put in place and applied good pressure, still sticking real good.

clean the area first and them put the templates, and get some crazy glue since this one will not stick so put them up with crazy glue and let them dry for some hours them you can put the panel.
my driver side had the same problem so i reclean it and did what i toll you

3M adhesive
I just read this thread. This is the first we have heard about any of the rear headliner panels coming down that are attached with the 3M adhesive. This adhesive preformed great in our tests. We used 3X the weight to sq. inch of adhesive ratio that the headliner panels are and heated the hard top to 250-300 F for days on end. The sections of panels never fell even when we shook them violently. We are also using 8 to 10 times the amount of adhesive that was recommended by the reps at 3M. I wrote all that because I want everyone to know that we honestly believed that the 3M adhesive would not fail.
That being said, we will stand behind our headliners. If anyone is having this or any other problem please call or write and we will take care of the issue to your satisfaction.

My HotHead Headliners have been through two winters and summers without any signs of the adhesive coming off and I installed them in less than ideal temps (late October in Canada).
