Attaching Vinyl Cover To Tonneau

Post by AZCruisen »

I have searched the site and found numerous discussions on replacing this piece, but no where did I see what to actually use to glue it down. I am currently replacing my torn and worn blue vinyl and would like to know what is recommended to glue this fiberglass piece back down. Thanks.

Someone used some 3M tape.

I'd probably use some liquid nails AND some 3M body tape.

To glue blue vinyl back down to fiber glass -good 3m spary adhesives works.

To glue fiber glass peice back down to car - structural adhesive- can be had at lowes. Comes in culk tube, can lay down nice thick bead. Does not run. Works great.
