Find a snapped newish board and cut them off with a razorblade, underneath slowly slowly peeling back as you go.
Reapply with contact adhesive like Kwik Grip

PS - did they ever get that mast apart?

Guess you could glue the old footpads to the mast for more grip when twisting

Hi Jermaldan,

I had a foot pad lift a few years back and was lucky enough to get replacement pads under warranty. I removed and refit myself. Old glue came off easy enough as there was very little on to start with, I sanded off remaining old glue, marked out the holes on the new pads, and re glued with kwik grip ( the yellow stuff). Used a few old phone books to hold it all down while drying. I then used a dremmel drill bit to put the holes back in for the foot straps. As good as new and never lifted again.

Mark, yeah, I did that but it still needed a bit of weight to keep the edges from lifting. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.
