Default what gule/adhesive do i use...

I just got my complete carpet set in and there are no instructions. What kind of glue do I use to attach the carpet to the seat backs?
corvettefaq just says how much of a pain it was to remove the old glue. Any ideas?

I would try the sticky stuff first!

If that doesn't work, your local auto parts store should carry trim adhesive in a spray can. Here is a pic of the 3M stuff:
