While removing headliner both plastic trim pieces above front doors broke. Let me clarify the gold metal clips broke off the trim pieces .
Is it possible just to glue them back on somehow ? If so has anyone run into this problem. What brand of glue ?
I have to order 3 plastic push fasteners (grey color) above rear door . They were dried out and broke when I removed them

Pulled my headliner last week and broke the plastic tabs from the back hatch trim that holds the metal clips. I mixed up some JB weld and put the plastic tabs back on and applied a little to the metal clip as well to hold it to the trim. I haven't reinstalled yet but the mend appears to be strong.

Ditto. I busted one of these. Fortunately it was not a clean break. Enough was left on the molding to know the position of it. I used the J.B. Weld. Part # 8276. Seemed to dry really solid and did not bust when I popped it back in. Now will it hold if I have to remove the molding again? Hope to never find out. When you say the 3 plastic push fasteners in the back if you are talking about what I think you are talking about do not worry about them. I pulled my headliner but had it professionally done. He did not cut holes where those 3 fasteners went and I did not notice I had them left over until after the install. Thinking it was more for an alignment thing in the factory or something to hold the headliner in place while the Jeep was on the assembly line. If I ever go back in there I will try to remember to replace them but again think it is not really necessary.
