Dropped carpet liner (1 Viewer)

[The Simpsons]

Evening all, the carpet liner in our campervan has dropped. The area dropped isnt touching any sides and wondered if anyone can give advice re re-fixing. Don't really want to cut it to re glue. Have found a youtube video using a syringe to put glue in place but at a loss as to what glue to use through syringe, supposidly you can use thinners but then wait longer for it to evaporate but can't find a contact adhesive that will go through a 16 guage needle. Any advice gratefully received.

I think you will have to take it down and refit, it you use a syringe you will not be able to get the glue to spread evenly and it will end up lumpy.

Carpet stuck to roof and walls, common way of finishing off PVC's.

You may have to pull the liner away from one side spray roof & felt with carpet adhesive, leave to get tacky then push back into place using a wallpaper roller to push out any imperfections or lumpy bits.

Before the days of aerosol type adhesives, I remember lining a van out with that grey felt stuff years ago. I used contact adhesive so spread it evenly on the van walls and wheel arches etc, then applied a coat to the back of the grey felt,(horrible job to do) you had to be quick and accurate using a wallpaper roller & nylon mallet to stretch the felt when needed.
I also remember being so light headed and falling out the rear doors of the van as I was overwhelmed by the glue fumes. Felt really bad all night, with a massive headache going on.
That was before the kids started glue sniffing, I could never understand how they could get any pleasure from doing that.
Good luck, I am sure if you take it steady, it will work out just fine.

Ahh got it.

The way it was put I thought it was a lining under some carpet.
My misunderstanding ?
