[Tigers] Hard Top Padding - Replace or not?

[Jay Laifman]

Your last words answer it for me.  If yours is still stuck up there, leave
it alone!  No way we can get that kind of quality glue anymore.

If it is already off, I'd be worried about just about any current glue's
ability to hold up whatever you put on there.  Maybe some people have had
luck with some sort of adhesive that can comment otherwise.  At a minimum,
it will probably required stripping the underside down to bare metal.
