Use Permatex All purpose Spray Adhesive Item # 82019. Plan on doing the same with my rear interior pieces. I used this to carpet the inside of my Goldwing saddle bags and trunk. Good Luck!

The stretchy stuff I have seen has been trunk liner material. There is some with a rubber backing, its harder to work with...

you might be able to find it at JoAnns, or an upholstery fabric place. If not, most upholsters have it on hand.
