I told you to use super glue!!! haha trust me, when your car sits in the sun for awhile that fabric is going to want to peel. The 3M super 77 adhesive is good for holding the fabric in place but not ideal for keeping it mounted/sealed.

Looks good though, makes me regret not getting the titanium color
the air vents kinda hold it in place, so i hope that holds em up!! i hope i still havent install them im testing and letting them dry thats why hmm i can probably super glue we'll see thanks

The left side on this part where it dips will need super glue for sure. Mine is already popping up looking like an air-bubble. I didnt add super glue to this area because i thought the 3M was going to hold it, but it didnt. So I will have to go back and redo it. My suggestion is to save yourself the trouble and add super glue to that part.

to all that wants to do this, i did try to put this part of the trim inside the car in front of the dash and left in in the sun fo some hour or two and the left side of it where it dips really bubbles up thanks to S_P_E60, i might use a super glue just on that side, so far everything else looks intact thansk again speedforce for the heads up!!

just an update again

i did not really wanna use super glue coz its not reversable compare to the 3M super adhesive 77, so what i did today is just left the trim that had the bubble problem on top om my dash left it outside the sun to dry, kinda like ovenbaked it inside my car and checked it every 30 mins or so and everytime it bubbles up i push it back in using my fingers, looks like its workin and finally maybe the adhesive dried and now its not goin back up, so i think i'll just stick with the 3M adhesive with this one

hope that helps i'll see till later today and gonna let you all know thanks!
