Let's fix this thing! Headliner repair

Moving to new projects on the 2003. My headliner is literally falling off. The entire fabric piece from behind the ceiling light is literally off, hanging, giant bubble..I've tried to reglue it using 3m spray glue several times. It's gross and looks like shit. The 3m has held

So I'm thinking about new techniques. The challenge is the foam under the fabric is degraded, nothing will stick and it's hard to scrape it clean.

I'm considering taking a tube of construction adhesive, putting it onto a masons hawk and using a spackle knife to spread it and reglue the fabric. I'll try and go a few inches at a time.

Any other ideas or thoughts on this one. I can't seem to push anything into the ceiling of the car like a tack or staple. It's really the worst looking part of the vehicle right now.
