[TR] TR3 Wheel Arch Vinyl Trim Installation

[Frank Fisher]

Bill
while installing carpet in the trunk recently i got frustrated at the
contact cement use. one chance to get it right.
i found a product at home
depot called "premium indoor/outdoor carpet adhesive 6700" by Roberts. one
quart plastic tubs with green label. apply with spatula.
this stuff gave me
about 30 mins of set up time so i could move the carpet around and get it
right. drys completely overnight.
cost about 10.00
very satisfied with it.
I'm
sure it will work with the vinyl trim, but I'm not there yet..

thin padding kit that he sells just for this purpose.

As I
recall, I used a layer of thin foam (maybe 1/8" thick and not 
dense, could
practically see thru it) to create just enough padding 
that the seam/beading
sat well. Another owner told me he sued an old 
baby blanket in a similar
fashion.
