Aight. Back to square 1. Looks AWESOME, but the glue doesn't hold to the heat of the sun. I took a piece outside today, and it started to bubble.



Anybody know what they used at the factory? If you remove an A-Pilliar the vinyl is glued on... NEED TO KNOW WITH WHAT!!!!

What glue did you use..? Did you wait for it to set before sticking the fabric on? I know that 3m stuff holds good if done right.. but it is also no good if done wrong..

I told you what to glue to use. Try asking a local shop because there

are many different brands of it.

Rob,



I never got a chance to get to the shop yet... I just gave the 3M stuff a try (well, it's the same consistency, might not REALLY be the same. I'll see if I can get some heavy duty stuff.



No loss... I was just toying the idea.Once I get some good glue, it's ON!

Also try a carpet shop, they usually have good spray/brush or trowellable stuff.

Yeah... Some 3M "type" stuff. I sprayed both sides, waited, stuck. Just doesn't bond. Must be Mazda's magic **** plastic lol..

Yup! I just think I got crappy glue. I think I'll be fine if I get a better adhesive... (Like you told me in the first place!)
