I purchased my car as an auto x car. It was very stripped. It has never had carpet since I got it. I will most likely not be racing it competitively so I figured that I would put carpet back in. I have a nice set of carpet. How do I attach the carpet? Does it glue in or just lay in place?

I glued the longs but nothing else. Just me. Used Loctite Spray Adhesive. Got it at Home Depot.

But anyone who seriously wants to hold down a rug uses this:  Just ask Eric "Cueball" Shea. |

i did a jeep once with the spray adhesive just the cheap stuff. it lasted a while but its been loosing its hold. On the 914 i used contact cement pretty much everywhere except the front feet area. it went well but dont expect to pull it up without damage

To be serious for a moment, I found a thread at the Pelican site which might be of help: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911...inside-car.html
That's some nasty looking stuff in those little bottles, Dave. Looks like some under handed Yank repackaged some super glue and pawned it off on the Canucks. It is! I just read the fine print on the label. |
