Title: Fabric on the slide out ceiling
Post by: Amsoilman on June 17, 2025, 07:57:46 am

I have some sagging in the carpet like material. No stains to indicate water   What have others used to re secure theirs?

We had an edge pulling away from the trim. I use double sided Gorilla tape. So far it has held fine.

I've not encountered this issue, but I think I would try a spray adhesive that they use for automobile headliners....


You use the push button and tube approach that is on a can of WD40 instead of the traditional spray button. You poke a hole in the carpet with an ice pick, then insert the tube in the hole and spray glue in a few different directions. Just short taps needed. May need to do this in several places if a lot of it is sagging.  Once glue is in place press a board against the carpet, lightly wedge it in place with a brace and let it dry.

That sounds like a pretty good idea with the tube, I’ve never tried it before. I do have some 3M 77 adhesive so I think I’ll try that this weekend. Thanks for the tip.
