cj247 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You can use Evo-Stik (or another contact adhesive) but I used self adhesive Velcro tape. That way I can easily remove the carpet to dry in the event of a soaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie_pank Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Your car is upgrading itself and starting to shed unnecessary weight. The heater will become vestigial and separate from the chassis soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Eve Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Quoting CJ247: You can use Evo-Stik (or another contact adhesive) but I used self adhesive Velcro tape. That way I can easily remove the carpet to dry in the event of a soaking. I most definitely wouldn't use Velcro. I did this and found, when I wanted to remove the carpet, that heat from the engine and/or from the car standing in the sun had melted the adhesive into a near-fluid nasty sticky mess. Bags of white spirit cleaned it up, but it was not a pleasant job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
