Default Glue on headliner

Could someone please give me a suggestion on how to remove the glue from the
headliner that has been replaced in my beetle? I had someone suggest
mineral spirits but that didn't work. Thanks!

"Goof off"
liquid lighter fluid
wd40
or possibly even denatured alcohol...

Watch out for the Goof-Off. It has a tendency to be really harsh on some
types of plastics, and I would include vinyl in that category.

Try turpentine the real stuff (gum turpentine) not a synthetic. It
will soften or dissolve many glues and should not harm vinyl.
