Stratty Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I bought a set of chrome rings to put around my dials and most of them went on no problem but I was having trouble putting the one on the speedo so decided to glue it in place. I put some glue around the ring and held it in place but it didn;t work. Only then did I notice that the glue had run down my dashboard. What a mess... Does anyone know what i can use to get it off?? I triad some white spirit but it just made it look worse. Gutted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Anything that will remove the glue will also remove the rubber coating on the dash panel and probably melt the plastic as well. Probably better starting again with a new panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a facelift, so no rubber there luckily. The only thing you can try is acetone (Nail Polish Remover), but it may make things worse..

Stratty Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was thinking that I could always spray them. I know a lot of people have done it but just how easy is it to remove the panels (bearing in mind I know nothing about cars apart from where the petrol goes )?

Very easy 5 minute job when you know how http://www.internetwork.org.uk/Dash%20Conversion/dashrem.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harllequin Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 You can buy Supergle Debonder. I always have some handy in the garage I got my last lot from screwfix. That may melt the glue enough for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
