Heated Seats: glue for element
What sort of glue should I use to stick a new front seat element to the foam base? I’ve seen plenty of how to threads on this but no one mentions sticky stuff.

A mate used spray glue pretty sure it was 3M 77, stays flexible
But bit of googling may confirm MY24 Defender 90 X-Dynamic HSE
MY18 Disco 5 HSE Santorini Black Now Gone.
New elements have a peel off backing to expose the glue that’s pre-applied. Mark.

I would be careful what glue you use, if any it, needs to be inflammable. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
It's not too bad a job Mark, recomend new hog rings and hog ring pliers to reassemble

my life! I’ve fitted the new Elmet and got the cover back on no problem at all but I cannot for the life of me get the last bolt in to hold the pan to the frame.
I’ve tried every combination of the other three bolts in or out but apart fro cross threading the front offside be will not go in. It’s now dark and patience is in seriously short supply.
Take a break and Finnish it tomorrow. It's not going anywhere, you will probably find it goes in easier 👍The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
