Try this!

I went to a office supply store and bought a box of those small (about 3/4") 
black steel spring clips with chrome handles like for holding documents 
together and you can remove the little handles afterward.  These little 
buggers really grab and I used no adhesive.  I used alot of them on my 
Alfetta shift boot, but it has worked beautifully for several years...no 
problems mate.
