What to use to glue dash back down?

On the passenger side my dash cover is starting to peel off. The previous owner tried to glue it down but it didn't work. What would work to bond that back to the metal frame behind it? I have seen lots of different glues, but just am not sure what to use. Thanks.

When I had a 1G-A, I used Gorilla glue combined with rubber bands/a heavy object to clamp them to each other. The next morning the dash was on there solid.

if the metal is smoothe sand it down a little to give the glue a better surface to adhear to.

+1 for gorilla glue

3M has a couple different universal adhesives that may do the trick. Their spray adhesive works great for gluing headliner fabric back in place.

I used Gorilla Glue on my 1G, and duct taped it for a day. That was last fall and it still looks good.

Re: What to use to glue dash back down?

Give it a few years, it's been 3 years for me and the gorilla glue isin't holding up very well anymore. epoxy that shiz, and the 3m spry adhesive for the headliner is decent but farbic glue does the trick.

Has anyone made their own headliner?
