    C Pillars Peeling

    Has anyone attempted to repair their C pillars? Mine are peeling badly, I bought some spray adhesive figuring I would mask everything off first and then spray the adhesive. Has anyone done this before? Is there an easier way to do this? If this works, I would also like to re-do my A pillars as well.

    Thanks

    The A and C pillars are pretty easy to take off. I would remove them before glueing.

    Make sure the follow the directions closely on the adhesive. Being one to do things my way, the first time I tried it "my way" it didn't work, but the second time was money. Make sure you get automotive upholstery adhesive also, the 3M spray glue stuff works okay but not as good as the real stuff.

    mine were peeling badly so I sprayed some adhesive and stuck it back. It looked like crap but at least it didn't hang off anymore. Then I peeled off all the pillars and recovered them in suede.

    its so funny because not more than 2 days ago i noticed my c pillar fabric hanging off. I want to fix asap but im afraid of whatever adhesive i use would bleed through the fabric - does the spray not bleed?
