   I redid my headlining in suede again the other day as my last attempt it was sagging at the back so done it proper this time and was fine for a few days untill today were i looked and its all sagged at the back again. It seems like when it gets on in the car its effecting the glue am using just seeing if any1 else has experienced this problem and what people use to stick fabrics on.

   What sort of glue are you using?
   
   I use a contact adhesive like Evo Stick and it works a treat.

   mines did the same mate its the carpet glue i stuck mine with evo stick solvent contact glue and it doesn't budge its really strong and not fussed by heat. Just brush it on both sides and wait till its tacky and push together.

   If you have no luck with the others bud try trim-fix, done a few headlinings and pillars with this and no problems at all.

    It's this hot weather pal. Obviously the roof of the car is getting the full wack of this heat and it's causing your glue to melt! Get some heat proof / high temperature glue. Should work a treat then.
