Default Foot Mat needs re-glueing

Hi all,

My Foot Mat on the drivers side has some un-glued.

How can I restick this ?

Can I clean the surfaces and re-glue ? If so, what glue and where is best to get it from ?

Any tips on how best to do it would be helpful.

Cheers

even using good old silicone would stick it back on no trouble i recon ;) , im actually suprised it has come completely off ! . With a surface area so large it would probably take a while for the silicone to fully cure ( maybe poke a few pin holes in the mat to get air under it and it would cure quicker ), either way it would priobably end up being one of the most durable adhesives in the end despite the curing time because of the large area and not much air to help it cure quickly .

The 3M spray on glue is good stuff. Its called Super 75. Just check the numbers because the different number = different use what could stuff you up. It cures in just minutes as well.

go to any car trimmers ask for contact adhesive...im a trimmer when we get these cases in we usually place contact adhesive on both surfaces wait a few minutes then bond these together...in some cases we have even pulled the carpets out a under the sewing machine we stitch around the heel mat...u buy 2l drums of this for under 100 bucks....take a jam jar in..ull prob pay like 5 or 10 bucks to fill one..this will do the job fine

hope this helps
