Jim, 
 I redid the dashes of my 68 GT6 and 64 TR4. I used Scotch 3M contact 
cement in the aerosol ca. There are 3 varieties, 60, 70 and 90. 
 90 Is the only one that will stand up to the heat. Can also be used on 
headliners. The others let go.
 I did the GT6 3 years ago and it's still flat, no bubbles or lifting.
 I know about the sun, I'm in El Paso.
Best Regards,
Tony R.
"GT6s"
