3M Contact Cement Worked!

Remove the felt in the area you want to mount your lights. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy a fiberglass cloth & resin kit. Buy a tube of Liquid Nails. Cut up a few pieces of wood sticks to the size you want. Glue them to the area you want your lights with the Liquid Nails. Mix up the resin and lay the fiberglass cloth over the wood and blend it into the fiberglass camper shell. Use some wax paper and a squeegee to remove any bubbles. Recover with new felt or whatever material you want. Install your lights with screws into the wood.

Ended up taking a quart sized can of reg. contact cement, applying it to both the backside of the felt and inside of topper, waited 10-15 minutes, pressed it in placed and then waited overnight. After that the el cheapo Harbor Freight lights that I glued male velcro to holds them in place nicely.

Reason for this was I had run wiring for these lights under felt and had slit the felt. Also if the felt is not firmly attached to the inner wall, the lights won't stay up.
