What glue/adhesive should I use?

[Scoobimax]

got a new gear stick gaitor to fit but what is the best glue or adhesive anyone can recommend or suggest to fix it under the centre console?

Cheers,

Max

I don't think mine is glued (V8S, so ?? )- its just held in place with the edge tucked under the main console.

Oh. The old one currently in situ looked glued when i had the consle out for other reasons.

any other views?

Defo not glued, just tucked in

Thanks. seems easy enough.

tomorrow nights job sorted then, and putting back the switch plate that i've painted, oh and reconnecting the cigar lighter that i must have damaged when messing with the centre console last time, oh and fix the air vent ducting, oh and fix teh stereo better etc, etc, etc. Don't you just love it....

Hi Max,

I thought we were going to have a fixing party

Mine is also just tucked in.

Its a lot easier if you undo the 2 screws on the side of the centre console right at the back (1 each side) then just ease the console up slightly to push the gaiter underneath.

had to have the whole centre console out to fit the the switch plate that i've painted and to refit the stereo.

all fixed up now with now glue. also got my latest mod - a pool ball gear knob.

Erm, remove the centre console and reach up behind the main dash - you may find there's enough play to be able to straighten up the gauge. If not theres a U shaped bracket held on with 2 nuts I think - someone posted a pic of the back of a gauge a while back - Norman?

great - should have asked before i refitted the console! out she comes once more then - the wonky gauge is just annoying.

Thats S2, though I would think they'd be similar.
