I used a product called K-Grip 460 in my restoration of Sophy.  Used it 
for interior trim panels, the carpet, some of the weatherstrips, and 
the headliner.  It is a really good, high temperature contact adhesive 
that was recommended to my by a professional upholsterer and certified 
VW nut (some of you know Jonce Fancher).  Worked great for me.  I have 
also used K-Grip 707 with comes in an aerosol can.  The 460 comes in a 
quart can.  I used a cheap spray gun to apply it to the large parts and 
a disposable brush for the weatherstrips.

It is made by Maple Leaf Sales, Ltd.

Any decent upholstery shop should be able to get it for you.
