I'm getting ready to reinstall some of the interior pieces and the wiring harnesses but first I need to install the under dash insulation. These are the pieces that are glued to the bottom side of the lower cowl sheetmetal (under the wipers). What is the recommended adhesive to glue these in place? They're kind of heavy and I don't an them coming loose after the first hot parking lot! Here's a pic of the parts I bought from Fusick:
Gary: I read the reviews on the DAP adhesive; it sounds like good stuff but the price is pretty high and I certainly don't need a full gallon. Plus, it sounds like it could self-ignite in a hot environment (like my garage).
Tedd: I have some 3M "Super Trim Adhesive" in a spray can but I'm not sure if it will work on the petroleum-based backing material of the insulation. Here's a pic of the 3M stuff I have. Is this what you recommended?
RunToRund:
I think the 3M spray can I have is the old Yellow stuff from days gone by just rebranded by 3M. I plan to give it a try with the smallest piece of the insulation to test how well it grips. I will post the results of my test for future reference.
This is what I've used in the past. 3m also makes a #90 that is about twice as strong as 77 and can be used exterior like on vinyl tops.... Tedd
I just used the 3m "90" this past weekend to rejoin some delaminated interior door panels in another car.
It was easy to apply and appears to work very good (its only been 3 days) I let the panels dry indoors for
a couple hours and then reinstalled them in the car in 90 degree heat, all three days have been in the 90s and
the panels look very good Im impressed so far but check back w me in yr. for a fuill review
