I have a question.

Pontiac solstice and Saturn Sky. I'm working on the center console, it's just a trim pannel tha tcover the E brake and wires.
I pulled the vinyl off it to fix some craking. The vinyl was rubber backed, it's a first. Also another first is the staple with a 1/8" leg on them, 3/8" crown ith a 1/8" leg, CRAZY. I've google the staple with no luck.
Has anyone seen a vinyl with a rubber backing? No luck finding gthat either???

Thank you
