Re: glueing vinyl on fiberglass.....?
just use a good contact adhesive. anything that can be used outdoor should be OK. i occasionally use 3M's landau top trim adhesive that stuff is bomber.

If the glue is fairly smooth, you could possibly soften it with acetone or a hot weather reducer. To remove, 3M makes an adhesive remover that you can let soak before scraping up the glue. It isn't an easy job!

Thanks for the reply Gmoney. Hey I bought some 3M adhesive today to glue on my new vinyl and was wondering if there is a indoor and also a outdoor type of 3M glue . Thanks again Propwash.

Re: glueing vinyl on fiberglass.....?
Yes, good question! They make quite a few adhesives (interior trim you don't want) and I would reccomend the one that is used for vinyl tops. It is not my forte, so I may stand corrected!
