I just found some rubber material to use as mats for my running boards and would like to know what type of glue to use to secure the mats. I remember reading on this site that it is best to glue them to bare steel, but I don't remember what glue was used.
Thanks.

Where did you find the material? Mine need not be exact but would be nice to be close or at least quite wearable.
I think I'm a fairly wise person because I'm smart enough to realise I'm not too bright.

The best glue to use is a commercial contact adhesive that is used on vinyl tops. You can purchase the glue from a shop that installs vinyl top material.  :) :grin:

Thanks Dog, I'll talk to my upholstery guy about the glue.
Re: jerrygolf's question, I got the material for the mats at my local hardware store. It was cut from a large roll of ribbed rubber that is used for making mats in commercial buildings and also used as a mat for walkways, etc. It is not exactly like the original molded mats, but at this point, it will have to do, since there is not a source for the original. A friend in Arkansas with a '32 sedan also found this product at his local building supply store. I don't think Lowes or Home Depot have it, but maybe they could order it.

There is a guy in Alberta Canada that does running boards. Can't think of it right now but I can find it for you if you want.
