erol_h Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Hi i need some help ive just managed to remove my dashboard to repair the vinyl around the air vent for the windscreen. |It has let go and when you look at the vent you can see the foam underneath as it has let go. What type of glue would you recommend as i think super glue would eat the foam thanks. Edited March 3, 2009 by erol_h (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Contact adhesive, the type that you put on both surfaces until tacky before putting them together. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Home-Adhesives/Contact-Adhesive/invt/241100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erol_h Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 thanks for that mate i didnt get the last bit what do you mean until tacky before putting them together. Do you mean you put the glue on both sides let it dry a little them attach both surfaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wazz72 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 What glue did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Use some contact adhesive like the stuff at Wickes in the link above, Evo Stik impact adhesive is the same but more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wazz72 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Iv'e just done the whole dash. Used Evo Stick in a red can from Screwfix. Cost about 6.50 for 500ml. Did a really good job. Would recomend it if anyone else is thinking of doung the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
