Padded Sidewall Installation

[KevNoble]

Hi. I have just acquired an RV7 and it came with a set of ClevelandTool cockpit sidewall covers and a baggage area cover with snap connectors which I wish to fit. The instructions say to glue the padded sidewalls in place, but gives no guidance on the type of glue to use: can anyone advise please? Similarly it says to secure the snaps for the baggage cover to the cross piece that supports the seat backs - has anyone done this and have any helpful advice. Thanks.

If you glue it you prevent future inspections. Get some velcro and attach strips or tabs.

Hi and thanks. Yes, I was thinking along those lines too. Any idea the best sort of glue to use for the velcro to aircraft?

Contact cement.
