The pop buttons I used are from Amazon fr. The colour offered was luckily a perfect match. Others sources have different colours if it matters.

Might be wise to drive with an umbrella up in case the liner drops on you unexpectedly. At least until the glue proves itself.

Seems like steam is the answer to reconstituting the original glue.
