I've got some new carpet for my mini, what kind of adhesive would you use to stick it down?

Many Thanks,
Dan

i have some stuff called stickaflex or something along the lines.

Big tin, £2.39...from my local DIY shop. I would spray around the edges and a small bit in centre so if u ever need to get the carpet out it aint gunna be too messy.

I use roofing felt adhesive, it comes in a 2.5l tin. Don't use it if you plan on removing the carpets soon thou as its a b*strd to get off!

Yep best way to do it, stick the inner arch bits and the bits under the door then push the rubber stripping over them. Everything else should lay nice and tight once it is cut properly. I use Ultra High Temp Impact Adhesive, but again dont use it if you want to unstick it later.
