[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 456456, member: 15636"] I'd use contact cement, coating on carpet and coating on tin. I'd prep the tin first, scuffing it up well. And if it were mine, I wouldn't leave the tin bare, but would at least zinc chromate prime it. The trick to carpet adhesives is you need to let the glue 'tack up'. Apply too soon and it won't stick. SailRite has excellent videos on the topics of headliner and carpet headliner installations. https://www.sailrite.com/How-to-Install-Carpet-Style-Headliner-Video [b]For your case[/b], assuming your using standard indoor/outdoor carpeting, I fear your carpet is of a ply that is really thick.
