Strong glue?!

[james24]

Right the silver part which holds the mats down has come unstuck on my Elise. When people get in they nearly break there leg because it slips all over the place now Anyone know of anything which will stick it properly? Want to fix it right and not use velcro, etc. Superglue didn't work

Cheers!

Some epoxy glue might do the trick in this case. Araldite or something similar.

Edited to say: Superglue (usually a cyanoacryllic) only really works if the gap between the materials is in the 0.1mm range and the surfaces accept a bond.

Bye, Arno.

I tried loads of different bonding agents and nothing worked longer than a few days before coming unstuck. In the end I reluctantly bought some velcro strips from Wilko (£1.99) and they worked a treat.

as above - nothing worked for me too so got somme heavy duty velcro for the mats - works a treat

Try TIGER SEAL used by body shops for sealing pannels and bonding in windscreens made by U-POL ( www.u-pol.com ) can be brought in 3 different colours black, grey, and white. Sold at Halfords. (P U adhesive sealant )

I think you can get carpet tape which carpet fitters use to bond carpet to underlay etc.

B&Q stock it IIRC.
