TR4/4A Installing wheel arch covers in a Tr4a

Folks,

I am am putting a new interior in my Tr4a, and I'm not sure about the procedure for installing the wheel arch covers. I've read some posts on this forum, and others, but it's still not clear to me what steps to follow, especially regarding the glue application.

I've marked where the piping goes based on the old cover. So here come the questions.

Should the top and side pads be glued to the arch first, then glue the cover to the pad? Some info I've seen suggests gluing the pads to the covers, then gluing them to the arch as a single unit.

Should the the covers be glued to the top arch first, then pull & glue the arch side?

Should glue be sprayed over the entire arch surface (top, then side), or is glue only applied to the piping seam area, and just the edge of the top and side?

Any other tips?

thanks!

Jim
