RE: [T2] installing seat pedestal mats--tips? warnings?

[Ronnie Feitelson <Ronnie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Be careful if using the 3M spray glue. The foam backing could have the
tendency to melt down. I used a paint on adhesive I got at an upholstery
supply that is made foam gluing up foam backed headliners.

Ronnie  just my opinion

Hey Bill
3M trim glue spray works as good as anything else. I used it to lay carpet
in the westy front and rear and held up pretty good. Probably about 2 cans
to do the front as you spray both sides
