I hate to disagree with Slick, but the experiences that I've had with headliners (replaced 2 on e32's and 1 on an e38) isn't a problem with the glue - it's the fact that the outer fabric has a layer of foam attached to it, and then that is glued to the panel. Any heating of the glue you are doing will be a temporary fix only (trust me, I know) because it's the breakdown of the foam that is the issue here.

The thing is I agree with you. That is why I glued mine. I only suggested steaming it, just in case people are scared of gluing it. Steaming it, is bullshit, my experience has already taught me that. Total hit of miss.
