Default Need help. Running out of ideas.

Bed lined the interior of my jeep with monster liner. Left the wires in the stock position just placed them in a wire loom and attempted to tuck it up under the gunnel. I first tried zip ties and the adhesive tape anchor piece for the zip tie. This didn't work. Then I tried industrial strength velcro. this is working better but is starting to fail on hot days. I'm having trouble finding anything that will adhere to the bed liner. I even tried supper glue. Any ideas or suggestions. Would be great.

I epoxied the mud mat retainers to my line-x'd floor on my 14 so there are 2 per side. Has held up perfectly and they certainly get a lot of stress from my feet when getting in and out. As far as the stock wire loom, I am still using the stock retainers.

Why not just wire clamps and stainless steel screws.

Any recommended epoxy. I tried the five min cure stuff and had little success. Prefer not to put un needed wholes in the jeep.

Go to home depot and look into products like JB Weld that will stick to anything.

You can try PL premium, it's one of the strongest adhesives in the market. Used to bond concrete.

I used the Permatex 1 minute stuff on my front mat retainers and they have worked great.
