Dan94Z34 Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 my z-34's dash cover is peeling back where the defroster vent is. I am going to take it out and reglue it. What type of glue should be used to fix this? Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 STRONG!! lol.. I have this 3M industobond shit, and it holds metal together :shock: lol.. good luck! Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted April 19, 2004 Report Posted April 19, 2004 Superglue. I wouldn't even try contact cement cause the extremes in temperature will make it loose hold. If your dash pad looks real bad, you can always try putting vinyl on it.. mine turned out ok. Quote
White93z34 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 i used a 2 part epoxy that was some nasty crap. but so far its holding great i paid like $5 for it. i forget the name... but it worked great. Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 every year i have to glue my passenger side mirror back on, my uncle broke it off a long time ago, it's a long story but anyways every expoy i use only lasts for about a year then i have to sand it off and redo it Quote
z34_nut Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 3m molding tape has lasted me more then 2 years... Quote
93CutlassSupreme Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 really maybe its worth a try Quote
cutlsp Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 not for a mirror and best thing to do would be to get a new mirror from a j/y Quote
dohc v6 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 there is a company that sells the top dash board plastic. you have to take off the foam and put this plastic piece on it. the dash is 89.00 and can have it repainted by a upholestry shop. i am getting 2 and will let you know how it works Quote
gimp19 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 I bought some really good glue to fix mine last year, it looked great for a day now its look'n worse then ever. Cause the there was alot of dust under the dash pad and the glue couldn't hold, any way around that problem? Quote
W-Body Geek Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Have you been treating your dash with some sort of protectant?? Quote
gimp19 Posted April 20, 2004 Report Posted April 20, 2004 Nope, If I could get all the dust from under it the glue would hold. Quote
Intlcutlass Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 everyone has had sucsesses with different types of glue..... I would use DAPS contact cement. I wouldn't even try contact cement cause the extremes in temperature will make it loose hold Contact cement is what the pros use when redoing a headliner..... I have used it on a couple different areas of both cars, and it hasn't let me down yet..... Whatever works for you though......PEACE. Quote
regalized Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 my friend has a 94 lumina when he got it the dash was peeled away from the defroster, i took it out used some super glue on it and held down on it for a few minutes and it held, that was about a year and a half ago, might want to try that, super hlue is like what $1? My two cents....Regalized Quote
slick Posted April 21, 2004 Report Posted April 21, 2004 I recovered mine in black vinyl, but i need to re-do it. If anything, i might try the local JY's. Quote
