Carpet and grill - staples?

#1 Post by kesslari »

When carpeting a cab, do you use anything besides glue for the interior edges (like staples or something)?
Or just glue it and leave it?

Also, do you use staples on the grill cloth (Omni10) or some other fastener?

Just the adhesive. Use good spray on contact adhesive, You pretty much get one chance with it as once it makes contact, it sticks, and stays stuck.

I apply it to both the cab and the carpet, and allow it to start to go tacky. If you apply it and fit straight after spraying you get a little more wiggle room.....
