OT: Clear Adhesive for Hdlight Protector Vinyl?

I want to make some clear vinyl headlight protectors. The retail ones are too expensive. Any recommendations for a clear spray-on adheasive to bond the vinyl panels? Something like the adhesive used for the cold-laminating protective sheets. Thanks JR Dweller in the cellar

When I was a kid you could buy "contact paper" which was vinyl sheet with adhesive already on it. Came in colors and patterns, made for lining shelves. One of the kinds was simply transparent.

You might be able to simply purchase the stock you need at the local A&P.

The headlight film sold commercially is urethane. Vinyl may not hold up well to UV.

The film is made by 3M. Google says this place sells it retail.

If you want to use non-stretchy vinyl, heat it and drape over the cover you wish to protect. Self adhesive. The folks that make the transparent conductive plastic for EMI shielding used "Final Net" hairspray to bond the plastic to the glass.
