After using contact cement to do a liner job repair way back on my van I
learned it doesnąt work to well when the temperatures get up there.  It
softened and down came the liner I had repaired.  I talked to a shop that
did interiors and he told me to look for high temperature in the description
of any adhesive used in a car.
Listed two below, but there are others as well.  Some of those are the
permatex or 3m rebranded.

Permatex product 27828
