I have 5 years so far doing security forces. Some days I just want to rip my innards out and hang myself with my own bowels but it's not a bad gig. I probably have an 1/8 of the work load of a civilian cop. I'm hoping to survive the cuts so I can reenlist.

I've never done that before. You might want to ask the box guuys, because they're used to dealing with vinyl tops and such.

For the headliner I used some spray adhesive that came in an aerosol can. I think it was 3M or something like that. Just remember to put on enough of it. The headliner material is bubbling up in some places I didn't spray as much glue on.

If the foam in the headliner is falling apart, gluing it won't do much. We use industrial contact cement to do headliners.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

^^ Exactly. The adhesive will make dark spots if you just try to glue the fabric to the foam. If it's already separated, you might as well pull the headliner and put on new material.

Those new MKZs are pretty sharp. Depending on engine optioning, those things can be pretty quick, too.
