Title: Dash pad install
Post by: alvin stadel on 2020-10-17 10:10
I need to install the padded dash cover on my 57 RHT. I'v done about 4 of these before and have always used a 3M spray adhesive, but not sure which one. I do remember the last one I put in they said it had about 12 min. working time.  That was about the fastest 12 min I ever had, almost didn't get it in place.  Just wondering what some of you have used, with good results.  Thanks, Alvin

I tried using 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive my armrests. It worked "OK" but after a few months it failed into a gooey mess. Not sure why. I checked around and found 3M Super Trim Adhesive. That worked much better at first and so far so good. Could have been an installation issue... (I hope my memory didn't screw this up, I had them reversed at first but after thinking about it I think this is correct now.)
