Yep!  Back in the 80s I bought what was to become my little red oval.  Gold 
shag carpet throughout.  Worst part was they had glued it to the inside of the 
roof for headliner, as well as every where else they could find to glue it on 
the inside.  I spent more man hours cleaning all of that stuff off, along with 
the glue, than I did restoring the rest of the entire car.

Yep, I used liquid nails to affix carpet on my panels on my '77 back in the mid 
nineties (don't know what I was thinking, but it was free) I literally had wall 
to wall carpeting: ) I used cinder blocks and encyclopedia Britanicas to evenly 
distribute the weight. When I took them out to replace them with Baltic Birch a 
few years ago, they were still intact.

I'm replacing the OEM cardboard backing with luan and didn't have enough weight 
to cover the entire panel so it is loose in some areas. I would up stapling the 
back to be safe.

I can see liquid nail working, too.

Do you mean vinyl adhered to particle board? I have found that liquid nails 
works well with a couple of clamps. I have used that 3M you mentioned for 
carpet 

and love the results. I also used some adhesive from these guys:

3M's 8088 has been highly recommended by many, myself included. Well, I just 
redid a door panel using vinyl and it worked, eh, okay. Not great, though. So 
with a little research here is what I found out:

8088 is for carpets and fabric.

8090 is for vinyl and plastic trim, including headliners and engine foam.

And 8008 is for rubber window and door molding.

All are 3M products.

There's the poop, er, scoop on glue.
