[Vwdiesel] Rabbit headliner question

[Gary Shea]

I'm going to take your advice on trashing the old headliner; the foam is
indeed still stuck to the board, I can see why it wouldn't glue back on.
I have that Scotch spray-on stuff, just encountered it yesterday in the
basement, it's #08088, like the CPU.  I'll attempt to pull the whole
mess out and maybe in the process figure out how to fasten it up better.

Thanks!
