Need Glue

[JT_MONEY_2004]

While swapping speedo cluster i caused sections of stuck-on woodgrain to come loose. I'll need to re-glue it, what do you guys suggest i use?I wouln't want it permanently affixed like most glues 'll do.

Any idea's pito ?

If you go to the adhesive section at the parts store near you they will have plenty. I would assume you would by a super glue for vinyl or some soft material like that.

But beware when you are putting it on. You dont want a sticky mess all over the place and you surely dont want signs of glue period.

As long as you dont try any 3M tape that would just be retarded.

Actually that is what most aftermarket trim wood pieces use.

There is a previous post by Jason Burtman about how to remove and readhere this type of trim.

My advice is this:

If it is coming off somewhat cleanly, then carefully remove it and clean the dash of any left over adhesive. If you wnat to put it back on, then get the 3M doulble sided sticky tape and cut it out to fit the cleaned backside of the wood piece first. Then pull the protective tape off and apply to the cleaned dash surface.

I personally don't really like the fit of my upper dash piece (slight buble above the uinstrument cluster) and will probably remove it in the future, leaving the lower and console like the later Presidents, but without the LCD screen.

I concur with you max on the material.

But I do not like 3M for a permanent fix like JT asked for.

3M makes a very good gelatinous glue. It takes time to dry so you have a few minutes to clean up the mess or spread it on the mounting surface. Check Home Depot or your local glue-sniffing teenager.
