Are you talking about the carpet peices inside the boot on the rear quarter panels?

If so, use contact adhesive. K&H do it in a 400gram spray can for about $10.00. You can use this for sticking carpet to speaker boxes/sub boxes etc.

Nah, from my reading, it appears the boot skin is departing from the frame.

Best solution, would be "Urethane" SupaCheap sell it as Sikaflex. Pump some between the frame and skin, and use some rags soaked in kero for cleanup.

Never ever use acetic acid cure silicon's such as Silastic, that crap eats paint, and starts rust.

cheers Chuck.
