A good name-brand spray adhesive will stick to the aluminum tape. I buy my aluminum tape at Home Depot in the HVAC section. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Nashua-Tape-...

Thank you so much. I've never tried anything like this before, you've made it seem like even I can do it. I'm excited to save a cpl hundred by doing it myself!
I like the steps you laid out. Its a very easy job of you have patience. Its a virtue in itself. All headliners are made different and from different material. Thank you for sharing this,
