I think this car saw a fair bit of Sun in its life and some high interior temps. As a result the glove box door cover was peeling back as was the dash trim around the fuel door pull. So I glued both back in place. Following a suggestion on pelican I used gorilla glue. While it is holding strong, I don’t think it was the best choice. The way that glue foams and expends requires careful use and some trimming and cleanup after. In hind sight I think polyurethane construction adhesive might work better and be easier to control.

I used a couple of flat pieces of wood to spread the clamping forces and not indent the foam door cover.






I used an adjustable hood prop rod to hold the pointy bit by the fuel door release in place while it glued.
