Default T-top pad adhesive

1976
I know this has been mentioned in the forum before, but I cannot locate the thread. What is the best adhesive to secure the T Top Velcro fasteners? I replaced all the Velcro pieces and installed new pads on my T tops, but after several months they are not holding. I think it was a 3M product, but which one?

Thanks
Mike

In our shop we use plastic fusion or plastic weld... both will work and are made for ABS.... mix it up, put it on both sides and then snap in place. You may have to do a couple at a time to get them all to hold, do two then when dry do more. IMHO,
