I used 3M Window Weld. It’s a urethane caulk used for installing windshields. I put a dot on each of the squares, and a very small bead around the perimeter, except at the very bottom. I left a small gap so any water that got behind the pad can escape. Before I glued on, I ran the pads through the dishwasher twice. Worked really well to remove the release agent from the pads. When in direct contact with the sun, my pads never distort, always stay flat. About $30.00 a tube, and hardly any gets used, but it is a permanent fix.
Thank you.
Also, why did the factory make those whorl-like indentations where the knee pads are attached?
At first I though this might be the manifestation of a German sense of humor, but quickly discounted that foolish notion:

I love 3M weather strip adhesive for small items. But I am not sure I would like it for this application because it takes several minutes to set enough to hold things. Thus if I can weight the item or tape the item firmly in place I like it. If not then not so much. I think this is a place I would prefer a simple contact cement. The issue there though is you have to be precise when placing the panel because the contact cement grips instantly and no sliding into position is allowed. Good luck.[/QUOTE
Use wax paper for keeping "instant" adhesives from bonding together. The adhesives do not become attracted nor attached to the wax paper. One slips the wax paper in place between the two, align them properly, slide the paper out a bit to begin attaching, and then finish the job.....Works great on this, furniture veneers, or counter-tops...……….God bless.....Dennis
