Vinyl is hanging.




I don't want to take apart the dash to glue it and have it fall off later.

Sooooo...

What glue to use and what recommendations do you have for installing?



Measure twice. Cut once.

Thanks,

Pete

First of all, I can't imagine doing this with the windshield in place. I suspect others have but I don't think it can be done well..
Second, the dash goes over the top of the trailing edge of the vinyl. I think you also have to take it out.
Taking the dash out isn't as hard as you might imagine. Something like 9 or 11 plastic nuts hold it in place.
The windshield can be removed without destroying it.

Contact cement is the answer to your question. Coat both surfaces and wait until it's tacky then carefully put it in place.

Sorry to complicate your life with the first part of the answer... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
