OR just go to a Automotive Trim shop with a Quart or Pint Can. Ask them to charge you to fill it with the High Temp Trim adhesive they use. Somtimes called elephant snot. You can brush it on to both sides let it tack up and then stick it to it. Try to get the loose crap off of the vehicle and the carpet before your glue it. Also Don't use Aerosols of any kind since they chemical is different then the original adhesive and about 90% of the time it will counter react with the adhesive and turn to go and never stick again. It is a mess. At my shop we have a 5 gal pal that we pour off to our sprayers. Alot of shops will sell it to you but dont have a can to put it in for you. Also you can buy some cheap brushes at home depot to brush it on then just toss out when your done. 1.5 inch would probably be the best for what your doing. C-ya and good luck. If you live is SE Michigan you can come over with a can and I will pour some off for you. Jonce
