I also had one of the cardboard? corners crushed pretty bad from removing the headliner so to fix it I used PVC pipe glue also used it on some of the edges that I couldn't get to stick worked awesome! PVC pipe cleaner seemed to help remove the old head liner too.. I bought my headliner material from Joann fabrics it looked and felt exactly like the oem liner I was amazed! Good luck on your reinstall!
Did you use the 3M headliner adhesive? I tried a small sample and sprayed both pieces, let it dry for 1/2 hour then put it together. Instant bond, nothing came loose, it seems to be a very strong bond.
