2000 Glastron GX185 "Glastron & G" decals starting to fall off the vinyl seat upholstery, anyone know what would be a good glue to use for re-application of the decals.

Hi There, New to this site. I have a 2000 Glastron GX185 with Vinyl/Rubber name decals that are on the seat upholstery, big "G" on both bucket seats and "GLASTRON" on the backrest of the rear bench seat. All letters are individual decals and most of the lettering has fallen off. What would be the best adhesive to use for re-attachment?
Thanks in advance for any input.

the logo should be RF welded, usually by a company such as RF works, etc. as AD stated, some sort of vinyl adhesive. like that found in blow up toy patch kits.

Great, I'll pick something up and give it a try. Had my sun pad and back bench seat reupholstered about four years ago, the upholsterer transfered the GLASTRON logo to the new vinyl but the letters started falling off.

Did they get a new RF Logo panel made? Or cut the old one off and glue on the new vinyl?

They were individual letters that they pealed off the original vinyl and glued onto the new vinyl. Just think they used the wrong glue?
