I am restoring the rear parcel tray (holds the speakers and first aid kit) on a 1982 300D Turbodiesel.

I have removed the old "carpet" from the underlayment and have purchased new material (although it is not liek the OEM corded carpet, more like what I have on my W126 420SEL rear tray).

My question: what should i use to adhere the new upholstery fabric to the underlayment material? I was going to use an art adhesive in a spray can that I bought at Ben Franklin's but wondered if anyone had a better idea.
