I however had to use an extra drop of super-glue to fix a corner on the back door where the vinly has lifted up. Apparently the glue used for repair jobs as well "consumer" grade glue available in regular shops is not of the same quality as the stuff used in the factory for assembling new items, throughout all industries. Another possibility is that only new parts have a perfect surface which is a precondition for good adhesion. Hans-Peter
