How to attach flexible vinyl seats?

[Jon Cole]

Caption says it all. How to attach bucket seats in Testors late model Charger Daytona R/T? 

I know there is other kits like this. I think AMT had a current style Camaro with flexible seats.

Just to keep them in place, one would assume the very minimal of adhesives would suffice. Nothing sticks very well to vinyl, but there are several non-solvent glues that should do the job, including white PVA, epoxy, Walthers Goo, or even hardware-store Duco or silicone.

If the model is going to be handled, or played with and and upside down a lot, you might need a mechanical fastener.

In my experience CA glue works exceedingly well on vinyl and rubber (and plastic of course).  If those are vinyl, you might wash them in alcohol first (vinyl sometimes had an oily film on its surface,  or leaches out plasticizer).  I also love to use CA accelerator (BSI brand, I might add), which gives me a bond in the matter of seconds (if not sooner).

I use Pacers Formula '560' Canopy Glue to attach a lot of parts.

similar to Elmer's White glue, but a little stronger,

Will hold your vinyl seats in place forever once it has dried. ?
