Title: Driver side slide out ceiling coming loose
Post by: Bill Staley on October 04, 2018, 02:05:58 PM

The vinyl ceiling is coming lose in the driver side front slide.  What adhesive is best to use to reattach the vinyl?

Bill,
Back in my other life, we used 3M spray trim adhesive for headliners, and even though we bought it in large quantities, I think that it is available in spray cans. The issue that you need to be cautious about is that of water leaks. A water leak can cause your problem as well as many more, so be certain that there are no leaks before reattaching the vinyl ceiling.

Bill,
If you can access the area the vinyl was attached to, remove as much of the  old adhesive as possible. Otherwise you run the risk of the new adhesive bonding to the old which will continue to come loose.

Thanks for the help! 

What attaches the fascia board on the top front of the slide?  I think I need to remove that to better get to the area where I need to glue.
