Do you install the backer plate first and then glue the mats or glue them and then attach them? I spent too much money for them to screw it up. What adhesive is suggested? hoppy "Four-Doors-Forever"

I knew Jim for decades before he passed away. He was a very cool dude! The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

I will send you the instructions when I get home this evening. If you like, send me your personal email address. If you have photos of your 33, I would love to see it. Jolo
