    Diamond Plate glue

    Anyone know what glue they use to attach the diamond plate to our finders and steps ? Mine is beginning to come loose.

    Not sure Larry, thought it was some kind of double sided backing. Maybe try Gorilla glue?

    Mine are riveted on. However they are starting to rust. If you rivet them just make sure you treat where you drill the holes.

    Re: Diamond Plate glue (Lpolk)

    rust forms quickly under these things and the holes.... i suggest that you mark with a sharpy the area of the plate, take the plate off... tape up the bumper area .. and spray line-x ( truck bed rubber ) across the entire area that you are going to place the diamond plate... then rivet it down on top of that surface.

    doing so u won't get any rust form from water the seeps under the plate

    good luck
