New On The Market!
If you decide you might need new ones, Mid America has a new product, leather trim side panels, color coded to match interior. I would think more durable, and probably more leg room since they would be a little thinner than your basic pressboard mount. Just thought you would like to know!(pepsiman).

I'm in the 3M #90 camp myself. There is nothing funner than "spiking" a brand new can of #90 on a seatbelt trim bracket while gluing in carpet in a C3, fortunatley it was a roadster and I quickly got the can coverd and thrown out of the rear compartment. After cleaning the Vette up for 2 hours, my wife looks over at her 2002 Z06 to discover "stringers" had floated over onto it. My reponse to her cry of anguish: That car has so much wax on it, it will wipe right off of it! (and it did!) 3M #90 IS THE BEST, just don't fumble the can while your using it!

That's funny. I to have dropped a can of 90, and the nozzle not only jammed in the spray position but the head snapped off and the can of spray was mimicking a bug bomb. Spray glue was shooting everywhere. This was in my garage where most of my tools and spare parts were.
Every now and then I will find a sticky part or tool.

Just note that the nozzle rotates to adjust spray strength. I would suggest the lower strength for smaller applications. Again, it's messy...a wide, stringy pattern, and it's hard to clean up...so be careful and cover anything you don't want glued.
