Solvent for orange headliner foam?

[Kurt Deschler]

You are much better off never messing with the orange foam. I tried to 
(very carefully) get it out on my 5k and it only made it look worse. On my 
200, I secured the back with the procedure I describe in this earlier 
post:

The front will stay attached fine because of the sunroof. It will cost you 
$2 in tacks and about 1/2 hour of time with no mess. It will hold up with 
all windows open at 100MPH. There will be a small area in the middle of 
the roof where the fabric does not follow the roofline, but you cannot 
tell without touching it.
