I concur with Chris on the glue thing. I did the same (no glue) as per the VB
write up and seats are just fine. However, if you are refacing any interior
panels where an adhesive IS required then I would recommend 3M General Trim
Adhesive (pt#08080) - works great and has adjustable/aimable(?) nozzle. It
believe it would be available at any good hardware or automotive store.

I did my seats three years ago, and didn't use any glue (per the
instructions from the Vicky B article on recovering seats - somthing I
highly recommend reading). The look fine 3 years later. Seems to me
that glue just increases the probability of screwing up the job, and it
will prevent adjustments if they don't look "just right" after the first
attempt. I am sure that someone else has a differing opinion, but thats
my two cents worth.
