A question for this esteemed world of 914 experts: I'd like to repair the backing on the little carpet piece (it's original) behind the driver's seat (see photos). Looks like a clear vinyl or PE/PP coating. Anyone know of a product or bush-fix to repair this backing?
Also, BTW, anyone know the meaning/indication of the "TSB" stamping in the fourth photo? Thanks!! Attached image(s)

Went to the carpet store today; the owner is a car guy so he appreciated the inquiry. His advice: Looks like latex glue (e.g. hot melt glue gun). Suggested tacking to stretch out flat (not too much), some cement board fiberglass tape strips (light brown or gray, depending on the carpet color; will seek translucent if available), then hot melt glue - either 2" spread tip (expensive) or regular tip and a spatula or spreader.
Have a glue gun; will get other materials, experiment and update. |
