I have a weird problem with the leather on my dash coming way up under the windshield just in front of the speedo/tach pod. Its too tight to get my hands up in there to re-glue it. I was thinking of just getting a rubber moulding piece to glue in there to cover up the problem but thought someone else may have had this happen.

Does anyone else have this problem? What great ideas do you guys have to fix or hide it?

Thanks,
Paul

Yep, mine's come away too. A proffesional upholstery place quoted me to fit another strip of matched leather across the top.
Only other way to sort is screen out retrim...
I'm actually going to do a full retrim so will get it sorted then.

Super Glue and a Syringe, then you may have to use a Hair drier to tighten up the leather if there's any wrinkles....
