Question; with the rubber pads removed from the bottom…is there adhesive and if so, what’s best used to replace those and make it look factory stock again?

The rubber pads are fixed with double sided tape.

I just use Isopropyl alcohol to quickly and completely remove any adhesive residue and use an ample amount of JB Weld and Automotive Bondo to get the unit ready. Use a wet rag to remove any excess adhesive. Do not fo0rget to centrealize the Feline Eyelash right at the longest point of the night and invokie MARDUK!!! AAAHHRHRGH.

So yeah basic Chemistry coupled with the ‘Dark Arts’ have created a sustainable situation.!
