Fixing my Lemke interior to the airframe…

For those that have trodden this path already, can you recommend the best way to fix my side panels and seats to the airframe in such a way that they stay there until I ever find a need to remove them again?

Thanks.

following cause i need to do the same.
They send me a bunch of velcro, so I assume that would be the method

Installing now. Panels attach via either Velcro or screws. Are you using aerosport panels wrapped by lemke or something other?

Quick edit- carpet attached to seat backs and baggage bulkhead with spray on adhesive. I fit the carpet roughly and then trimmed the edges with a utility razor blade just held in my hand. Zipped clean off at the edges using the aluminum seat edge as an edge guide.

Dm if you want to discuss further, though I’m no expert just a first time builder…
