Default Rear luggage cover repair

After cleaning my rear window and carefully removing those clips from the luggage cover, I noticed that the black material covering the luggage cover is no longer attached. It's pulled away from the bottom material just like the headliner does on most of our cars. Question....Should I just try to place the "proper" adhesive to the outer edges and call it a day, or should I give it to an upholstery shop to get it glued back down properly. I'm sure the cost of this cover is crazy $$$$ and I don't want to screw it up. Any suggestions? Thanks all.

How good are you with this sort of thing? I had a shop do mine with genuine Alcantara for $150, well worth it, IMHO.

Not good at all. I assumed that a good upholstery shop could just use the existing black material, as it is such a small area. Considering the cover is not all that noticeable from the outside, I was hoping it wouldn't turn into a major project.

It's not, he scrapped it down and cleaned it and stretched and attached the new fabric.
