davidarel Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 I am sure this has been asked and answerd many times, so call me ignorant if you want. Is there any way to "fix" the problem with the upper dash pad peeling and curling up from the defrost vent. If not, how or where can I find a good replacement.

sonyman87 Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 im not sure if that one has be brought up before. I have seen where people put aftermarket dash carpets. if its vinal use some armarol to protect it and i would think get a Qtip and glue and carefully glue it back down.. i dont own a z34 and im having a hard time pictureing what the exact problem is so dont take my comments to heart. just wait to see what other people have to say about this. Hey maybe there is someone who knows exactly what your talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91cutty Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 i know exactly what you're talking about cause my cutty's dash is fooked too! I can't think of a way to fix it other than get a new one that's in better shape or glue it. Is your plastic grille thing at least staying in place or has is completely come out like mine?

davidarel Posted November 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 my vent is pretty much just sitting there in the hole. I have heard of people that acutally tried to glue it back down but ended up buying another because the glue never held. If somebody can point me in the right direction to get a new one that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 someone i know used strong glue (dunno what kind) and heavy clothers pins for the edge taht was peeling, seeme dto work pretty good, what a lot of the guys do around here tho is tint the windshield in like 35% platinum tint, it'll stop all that shit and the cops don't notice cuz it looks like the catera glass. later jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme_style21 Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Huh.. My Lumina and Cutlass baked in the sun all day, every day when I had them, and neither of 'em warped up. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91cutty Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 i'm thinkin that maybe silicone adhesive might work. Wont dry out or be affected by the sun. You'll just have to put something heavy on it or hold it down for an hour till it dries! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 8) Well I did most myself, with a little help from a friend. mostly advice and tips and they look better each time I clean them. I had a set done once for like $150 from a guy at a Tire/Wheel place he told me how to do it. Check this post out as well ... http://www.w-body.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9156 got a lot of tips and how too later , Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo57509 Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 You can try contact cement to hold it down. Unless the cover has shrunk away from the opening like mins has. I've used contact cement on parts of the dash pad that has curled and its held up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91cutty Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 the contact cement might work really well... but i still say try silicone. Might take longer to dry, but it shouldn't dry out in the heat and should be flexible enough to withstand any expanding or shrinking in heat and cold weather. I'm gonna try it on mine this weekend and post the results as soon as i can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
