Trim lifting, any ideas to re-fix
Discussion
Hi folks,
The dash covering as lifted up on the leading edge where it meets the windscreen to aproximately 3" in.
Its bloody annoying as it was re-covered at some expense about a year ago, what I think has happened is damp has got under there, then when I warmed it up yesterday, the heater lifted it.
Other than taking the windscreen out I can't see a way of re-sticking it, any ideas??

Mike.Arse..
Once its dried out.. Hypodermic filled with glue. The stainless heater vents should pry out reasonably easily, you could lift the leather trim around that and squirt a thin layer of the appropriate glue in?
Other than that, screen out I fear..
Can pop round and give you a hand sometime.. Good idea re chasis refurb BTW, needed doing this time last year..

Thanks Simon,
I fully coated the chassis in July, but with the excesses of weather the car has been in it seems like a good plan
I reckon the hypodermic idea is a good one. I may just speak to the chap who put the screen in, as if it's leaking then some of the blame may lie there....
Pop around any time, if you have some hours spare. I still have your bible I keep meaning to give back to you as well.

Hi Mike - Trust you are all well.
I would follow the Syringe route as well, you probably have a couple in the cupboard (used for the kids medicine) if not Boots sell them for around 50p, fit a piece of small dia. plastic tube on the end and you will be surprised at the places you can get into !!,with using glue obviously it can only be used once but for oil or similar its surprising how handy it becomes.( Bubbled wallpaper is a favourite).
Didn't get the G27 but am looking currently at another.
Regards to all.

Hi John,
We're all fighting fit thanks, Indeed, we do have loads of syringes previously loaded with calpol/medised etc etc to fire down the kids necks, I will have a go at sticking it down, probably in the spring as it would be a bit counterproductive now I think, especially as it's languishing up at numbnuts' garage.
Are you going for another G27? I saw a tidy looking one on ebay not so long ago...
Hope you are all well,
Mike (and mob)
