does anyone know what type of adhesive to use to apply the rear bumper pad? thanks in advance, Marty

The easiest way to answer your question is:

Click on the search feature in the upper right area, type in Bumper Pad

Happy reading.

Bill is right, do a search on the subject and you will find more than one ways to glue it on.

Personally I have had great luck with 3M's super weatherstrip adhesive, black in color. The pad has been on the car for a couple of years now with only one corner starting to lift.
