Default Seat Insert

The back of each seat in my '79 has a carpet insert. The assembly manual shows that the inserts have rivets (or some kind of protrusion), but mine were glued on. One has fallen off and I would like to use the same adhesive to put it back on. It is a soft tan/yellow colored glue that was applied in a bead (not sprayed). Anyone have any experience with this problem?

Thanks!

Get some weatherstripping glue from your local parts store. It's about as close as your going to get to factory.

No telling what sort of strange brew they used.
