[quote=UFgator]Scott,
Contact cement is the best product for gluing I/O carpet to the side rails on H16s. I did my recently and they are holding up perfectly.
I don't know how the contact cement will react to gelcoat though. I would take a small amount of the glue and apply it to an inconspicuous spot to see how it reacts. My guess is it will do fine as it is a cold reaction.
You may want to rough up the gelcoat slightly before you apply the contact cement.
Apply the cement to the each surface and allow it to partially dry - a light tack to the touch. Then mate the two surfaces. Once they contact it will not come off easily. The glue works by bonding to itself so be sure of where you putting it together.
Good luck.
BTW you can get the contact cement at Lowes or Home Depot.[/quote]
