You spray the hairspray on the areas that the couplers will be touching. Once it dries, it's like glue. I know a few people who do this.

Spray it, put the couplers on. Don't wait until it drys otherwise it defeats the purpose.

And another thing, once you get everything back together, dont go ***** to the wall right away to test it out...Let the car get warm and start off slow then get on it..
