Carpet adhesive...need quick help
What kind of adhesive works best for gluing new carpet to the plastic sill covers? I tried Elmer's spray glue, but it is not working well at all. Thanks.

3M spray adhesive! Comes in a "rattle" type can, works great. Just installed sill carpet, it was a royal PITA. Be sure you let the adhesive "tackup" before trying to get the carpet to stick to the fiberglass sill cover.
If you purchased your carpet from ACC, don't even bother trying to get out the wrinkles in the corners. And don't bother trying to find a carpet guy that is willing to work with it either. The wrinkles will not go away and by the time you have the sills totally installed you won't even see them.
Biggest piece of advice................TAKE YOUR TIME and things will be just fine. Good Luck!
