Bonding the dash and surround

Postby CJ101KT » Sat 28.06.2008, 13:13

The soft outer dash has pulled away from the plastic solid dash itself to the lower right of the steering column. I am trying out several adhesives to try and clamp the two back together but would like to know whether anyone else has had this problem and managed to solve it?

Ta in advance ...

How did you get a clamp to stay on? I can't get a right angle and even adjustable clamps slip off after 20mins :(

To be honest i can't remember :?
My pattern maker did it for me and i think it involved a bit of packing :roll:

I used black silcone myself :-) Worked a treat, I used mole grips and some soft material to clamp. In the hot garage (sunny day) it went off inside an hour. Looks 100% better now. I also made a decent job on the A post. I put some cling film along the window, shut the door, run a bead of black silicone and then folded the clingfilm over it toward the screen. Left it till it went off then gently pulled the clingfilm off. Looks a lot neater now.
