What to use to install fuse box covers?

Can someone who's done this let me know what you used to install them? I'm assuming some type of adhesive but not sure which to use.

I recommend using some heavy duty or industrial strength double sided foam tape such as:

Amazon.com: 3M #110 1/2x75 Heavy Duty Mounting...
* Remove the fuse box lids
* Wash them with soap and room temperature water in the sink
* Do not use hot water, as it may cause the fuse box cover to warp if the water is too hot
* Make sure you thoroughly rinse the fuse box lids to remove any soap residue
* Dry the lids and let them sit for a few minutes
* Then carefully apply the foam mounting tape to the fuse box lid and press firmly in all spots to make sure it has made good contact to the fuse box lid surface
* Place the fuse box lid on a flat stable surface and carefully line up the EMSPowered SS fuse box cover and place if on the fuse box lid
* Apply pressure in small spots around the lid until you are certain that the EMSPowered SS fuse box cover is firmly in place
* Let it sit for a few minutes
* Reinstall them back on your MR2
