Advice on a good adhesive for hardtop

I have some of the vinyl on my hardtop starting to peel back with the original factory adhesive has failed.

I was wondering if anyone who has repaired theirs could tell me what type of adhesive they used.

Really looking for something that's strong and sets fast because I will have to stretch a few areas back into their original positions as the adhesive sets up.

I highly recommend the headliner adhesive that JoAnn Fabrics sells. I have worked with others, mainly the 3M variants, and the JoAnn Fabrics stuff seems to hold up the best from my experience.

It's expensive, but price is relative when you consider the hassle of having to do it over in a few years...

Well I'm actually not doing the headliner, someone changed the subject header.

My problem is the side vinyl pieces around the side windows where the door meets are starting to peel back.

Would you recommend the same adhesive for that as well?
