Velcro sticking to Tilletts

[ScottR400D]

I bought some seat pads to fit to my Tillett seats. Having a real job getting the felt side of the Velcro system to adhere to the seats.

Any recommendations for surface preparation?

I had the same problem & ended up using contact adhesive

Really!? Wow! That seems a bit drastic. I managed to get the pads on the top back of the seats to stick by solvent cleaning the surface but just can't get adhesion under the front edge.

Was wondering if light abrasion might help?

If not I'll have to go your way, what adhesive did you use?

I didn't stick the pads directly to the seats but used the adhesive on the back of the Velcro after cleaning off all the normal stick stuff.  I cleaned the surface of the Tillet thoroughly then used Evo - Stik.

Slight abrasion might help to give a good surface for the glue.

I used UHU last year and the Velcro is still in place. Make sure both surfaces are clean before use though and do not fit the seat pad until the adhesive is fully cured.

I ve not bothered , when I am clamped in to the seat the pad  is not going anywhere , it also makes getting the two tonne of gravel out of the seat at the end of the blat

None of the velcro on my Oxted seat pads stuck properly.  In practice the top flaps just stay put on their own and the front edge sits there rather than lipping under.  Every now and then I think about glueing some velcro under the front of the seat but the absence of it has no effect on the seat pads in use.  They weren't cheap, even before the steep price rise, but I wouldn't be without them in looks or comfort.

I used some 2" wide Velcro to stick under the front of the seat  seems to have worked been on a few months with no problems
