My body man told me I couldn't use contact adhesive, and I mostly followed
his orders, the rear wheel wells being the piece that just had to have
adhesive. I did use double stick tape on part of the floor, but that can be
removed with alcohol. The main pieces have snaps to screw to the body and
the
carpet. Is that the bits and pieces you are talking about?
it doesn't make much difference whether you install the quarter panels or
carpets first. I like to put the carpets in before the quarter panels
because
the quarter panels then press downward against the carpet to cause it to fit
better. HTH.
