Fabric on the slide out ceiling

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.
Jack is what we call our PC 2351D, and he has taken us from campers to RV'ers and loving it. We're no longer Team Bob. Just Jack the RV!

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.
