Searching around I have read a lot of unsuccessful attempts to get it to stick permanently. I am pretty sure some heavy duty epoxy will make the foam on the dashboard stick to the metal. I don't want to mess it up and do it again. Has anyone actually done this successfully and has it holding for a few years now ? What glue/epoxy did you use ? 1G DSM: 1000+ AWHP, 9.2@162.83 MPH Evo X: 746 AWHP, XR9569S pump gas www.dynotuneracing.com

I rigged up some wood bracing to keep the dash down as the glue hardened. I think that is key. New and improved - sporting 18% more

I used an industrial strength glue made by PL which I found at home depot. Says its used for all kinds of materials indoor and outdoors, and seems a little stronger. If this doesn't work, I'll give the goop a shot. I have it rigged up with a couple of tennis rackets wedged between the seat and dash. I'll wait a day or two for it to cure. Ryan, on my old talon I used a couple of screws. Worked well but it did look ugly. 1G DSM: 1000+ AWHP, 9.2@162.83 MPH Evo X: 746 AWHP, XR9569S pump gas www.dynotuneracing.com

I have some if want to try if your stuff doesn't pan out. If your not falling your not trying hard enough.

I used an attache case wedged between the seat and the dash. I left it there for 4 days. I used GOOP and even though it's real messy it worked great.
