It doesn't sound as if the upholstery glue is sticking to the vinyl. It should be easy to see if it sticks to it or not - try rubbing it off. That board is very absorbent - maybe you've just primed it. Maybe try again? Bits of vinyl is used to cover access holes for fender bolts - try some of that to test adhesives. There are certainly special adhesives for vinyl - I used some to put a patch behind a tear on a Fastback seat. I imagine they stick to any absorbent surface too. I too have to do this soon - vinyl peeling off the trim panels. Dave.

I'm redoing the back panels in my square back. After peeling off the original heat sealed vinyl the "panel" is somewhat similar to a peg board material. My problem is deciding what type of glue to use. I am re-covering the panels with a cloth backed vinyl. I have tried a generic upholsetry spay glue but the board basically absorbs it and the vinyl peels off after 24 hours. Is there anything available (retail) that you've had sucess with or should I just keep trying till it sticks? > Thanks for the help. > > John > 65 square (weezer) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
