Hi all what is used to stick the heat reflective mat on under side of clam ? the mat on my ultima is well secure , but i used a quality impact addesive on my fibreglass frogeye bonnet above the exhaust manifold ( cleaned and preped correctly before applying ) and only after a couple of trips its starting to unstick from the centre out ?? im assuming some mastic / tiger seal type sealer ?? cheers for any ideas , Dalidea

As you say it is stuck on with impact adhesive.
I gave mine a clean with brake cleaner and applied the adhesive in the normal manner leaving it to almost dry before bringing the parts together. They've been together now for six years.

I bought some heat matting from Think Automotive and at the same time some a good size can of heat resistant glue.

I've done a couple of outings and it seems to stay stuck.
