How to mount console carpet??

RedFish said

Not to be taken as argumentative, just saying I wouldn't have liked contact cement when replacing this skirt in the car.
A slower setting glue allows one to smooge the carpet edge under the lip of the console work out how it lays, lift and trim if needed, whatever. Some contact cements are a instant weld like bond.
If the console is on the workbench and I had test fitted, laid targets, etc..? Nah, still not contact cement. LOL Good luck to all

I do Landau contact cement adhesive for a lot of things at the shop where I'm learning to do car convertible tops and upholstery. There is an easy trick to contact cement. Letting it dry on both pieces and you get a fast permanent bond right away. But the same pieces coated wet when you stick it together gives you wiggle room to position it and tuck the edges in where you need to. Now you don't get 10 minutes but you do get about 3 or 4 and that should be enough time to re-position or smooth it for most needs.
