P38A Centre Dash Glue ?

Previous owner had bodged the "wood trim" under the cubby with what seems to be RTV Sealant. Any suggestions on what glue to use ?

Ignore the scratches - they show brighter in the photos than under normal light.

No More Nails?

Bought some Evo-Stik impact adhesive. Should do the job.

If you don't plan on taking them off again just superglue

I have not had a lot of success using Super Glue on plastics of that sort.

Not all superglue is the same the key ingredients is cyanoacrylate which they don't all have most cheap supermarket types are a poor version .

Unlike traditional adhesives which are water-based, cyanoacrylate glue is composed of an acrylic resin. The main ingredient in cyanoacrylate glue is cyanoacrylate, which is an acrylic monomer that transforms to a plastic state after curing.

I use araldite for everything. Cheap enough and sticks well. We use it to protect blade tips in the desert. If it can survive that, I am sure it'll work to stick a panel to a Landy.

But that does not mean it will stick to some plastics. Also it dries rigid and does not stand up well to surfaces that flex.

Even Araldite doesn't stick to some plastics, it comes away from my plastic mixing surface easily once hard.

Fair point, if it is a smooth surfact you need to index it first with an abrasive.

I found that plumbers PVC pipe weld works on most car plastic trim panels.
