Hi folks!
I’m looking for targa vinyl adhesive recommendations and what products to stay away, I read Eric’s installation summary (thanks a bunch!!) but besides 3M didn’t find any specific p/n for 3M or other good adhesives. Who has used what and with what kind of experience? Car is fresh painted (about 3 months old) and I really don’t want to fudged it up with some “budget/mainstream” FLAPS stuff. Thanks in advance! dc |

I've removed a lot of sail vinyl. They used old "gorilla snot" or what we call weldwood yellow contact cement. Also known as Formica glue. The old glue will remove with lacquer thinner, which will not harm the original enamel paint. Tape the bottom half of the bottom of the vinyl to the panel, and let the top part hang down where it's inside out. Glue both vinyl and panel. Let dry till your finger will not stick to the glue. Carefully, work the top half back into place, and use the palm of your hand to apply pressure to all the vinyl. Repeat on the bottom half.
