Default Interior Question

Hi everyone,
Hope your driving season is going well.

i have a general question on redoing the door panels in my 928. What is the preferred “sticky” stuff to reglue the coverings to the panel? I have used 3M trim adhesive with good results. But this is a 928. My panels are covered in vinyl and leather as is the center console and dash. Is there a suggested adhesive for the 928 interior materials?

Thanks.

Best results come from 3M 90 aerolsols cans . You have to remove all the old glue from the pannels otherwise the new glue will attack and soffen the old glue left on .

Depends on who you listen to and what your brand preference is. Or on what you have on hand.

Stan (MrMerlin) wholeheartedly recommends Weldwood. The red can (pictured above), not the 'environmentally friendly/non-carcinogenic' green can.

I used 3M 77 spray on with good results.

All of the above..but you MUST sand out the old glue first.

3M 90 doesn’t hold up very well in really high heat.

What Alan said.........
go get a can of the brush/spray on Weldwood glue,
this is the same type of glue the interior shops use.
Follow the directions.
I dont usually sand off any of the old glue as the new glue will wake up the old stuff,
let it dry to tacky,
use a heat gun if its cold out to speed up drying to tacky

Even the regular 3M 80 is better than the 3M 90 when hot (summer car hot). I'd use the Weldwood.

If you must use a spray - use the 3M 08090 Super Yellow Trim Adhesive

Weldwood. No sanding. Everyone I have done has held up.

I used DAP Weldwood on my DIY dash recovering. I will say I am having lifting issues in the tighter corners and defroster vents. The heat from the sun is causing the glue to reactivate. Maybe I didn't use enough or let it dry too much. I found the Weldwood bonds better when it's less tacky but that makes it harder to work with.

I did some research and came up with this higher temp contact cement from 3M. I repaired the lifting areas and everyone is properly secured again.
3M™ Neoprene High Performance Contact Adhesive 1357


Available at Grainger in a variety of sizes
