After applying strips on both sides, remove wedges, lift headliner up and push forward to attach Male to Female strips. It not necessary for 100% attachment, just enough to adhere the sides together.
Clean up pencil marks, test Open and Close roof, test drive and enjoy your now Quiet R230 Roadster again!

I separated the Female and Male Velcro strips, cutting and attaching the Female to the roof in several strips 4-5 inches each across the back edge of the roof, and a 10 or so smaller 2 inch size male strips attached to the headliner in the gaps between the previous attachments and support arms. You will use more female strip material as a result. This picture shows Female installation on one side of old fastener, I put it end to end on roof.

Feel the underside of headliner for the former attachment points and the hidden support arms inside headliner, I marked those with pencil, as the flat gaps in between are the targets for Velcro tape.

Wedge opening between roof and liner to hold open in place, (I used small screw drivers with rubber handles in former fastener positions).

Purchase Velcro, I chose Outdoor Quality, due to 140 degree glue adhesion specification; (we’ll see it’s hot in AZ).

Lower roof into trunk, and use convenience button to lift roof upright. You will see the failed fastener glue, yellowish dots
