Hi, does anybody know how best to repair the foam on the underside of the boot carpet? Mine has split badly. I've tried spray contact adhesive, but it has just split again. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks, Andrew.

I believe the only thing that works is two part mixed foam that is used for face masks and things


this sort of stuff

It's silicone foam so plain old bathroom silicone will adhere to it very well and be of a similar(ish) flexibility when set.

I stuck mine together with white bathroom silicone when I bought the car 13 years ago and they are still stuck.

Hi, ok great i'd have never thought of that. A load of contact adhesive seems to be working at the moment.

Take care, Andrew
