The only spray can glue I've used that was any good is called Tac-It and it's sold at fabric stores.  Not as good as Weldwood but still holds up pretty good even in the hot Arizona summers.

Thanks again for the info! I will probably just end up getting the Weldwood. My headliner has a few small areas that are coming off already with the 3M glue, so hopefully once summer gets here it won't fall, but I bet it does...

Just use the weldwood, it is the only thing we use at our shop, for leather, viynl, carpet, formica, anything, it will hold and not be affected by the elements inside your vehicle. Alot ot the can stuff will release in the humidity of the summer on the heat!!! Thats my 2 cents anyway...

Thanks everyone for your replies! Is there any major difference between the different kinds of Weldwood glue?

We only use the weldwood top and trim for everything at my upholstery shop!  The green shits the shit!

The green stuff says that: Not recommended for tile, vinyl, or urethane backed carpets. How well does this stuff spray out of a gun? It looks like it would be a thicker type of glue? I will be using it on suede, vinyl and leather and glueing it to metal and a plastic headliner board. Thanks!

i bought the light blue can and i have to say its like a sprayable concrete man. will not let loose. used it on my 7' headliner in my build and its not ever going to release. spray both surfaces,using a walmart cheapy-gun, let it slightly tack-up and its married until death. wont go back to anything else. the smell/fumes are intense but well worth it in the end

 I use Wilsonart glue kinda expensive but holds great on curved surfaces. http://www.wilsonartadhesives.com/
