This decorative strip that runs across the dash is coming out of its mount. The ends are still holding it's just in the middle that it's coming out. I don't want to remove it just want to readhere it to the dash. Any suggestions on adhesive or process to do this?

Hi
There was a very small of glue on back of strip. Excessive heat from being parked in the sun is what causes problem. The molding shrinks then it starts to come out. If you look at the right side there is probably a small gap at the end. On the left it tucks under the dash pod.Sometimes there's enough under the pod to take care of gap. I have used contact cement to reglue some. It's messy and you don't need much, be carefull.
Phil

I used the same on mine, the kind of tan stuff in a small bottle with a plastic paddle attached to the bottom of the lid. Has been on for five years with no problem.
