The issue we had was that the leather was simply to thick to fit, and completely the wrong shape... which was frustrating as it looks like a nice cosmetic job :-\

Mine were cheap eBay ones and fit very well, I will dig out a link  :y

Returning to the question; you want the sort of impact adhesive that trimmers use for exactly this sort of job.
Spread a thin coat on both the plastic and the leather, and press them together. Hold for a few seconds and you're done.

Do you know what they use Nick?

I used heavy duty aerosol carpet adhesive from local Travis Perkins for my alcantara door panels :y

The stuff I have was bought from a trimmer and is in a white can marked 'impact adhesive'.  Clearly repackaged from a larger container.
You can get it in aerosols from Home base etc, and while it's not very good will work OK for this sort of job.

I purchased some two part epoxy at the weekend to get plastic to metal to stick. Would that work?

I don't think so. Araldite type of adhesive dries rock hard and even the rapid stuff takes agood while to cure. Something a bit more flexible needed here. The impact adhesive suggested right at the start is the way I'd go.

Ukrainian solution you need nails, sold by the 1kg bag, drill holes, bend them over on the inside, job done. :o :o :o Self tapping screws, well you have to buy them individually, from behind the counter glass at highly inflated prices, so Ukrainian's use 6" sorry their metric, 150mm nails for everything. ::) ::) ::)

I said it a few posts ago in this thread, and of course everyone can go their own way, but I fitted a gaiter (the wrong one, I might add, PFL on a FL so a little too short) with a plain old ordinary cheap hot glue gun about 4, probably nearer 6 years ago, and it's been in daily abuse since, and not come off.  :y

Cheers for the replies guys. If I can't find the tube of Bostik I'm sure is in the garage somewhere then I'll get the glue gun out.

I'll report back with the outcome  ;)
