Glue on dash

6034 Views 15 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  coolguy
Has anyone had to remove the glue from the dash that holds the dash mat in place? The glue was getting too warm and the dash mat wasn't staying in place so I took it out. Now I'm not sure about what would be best for removing the left over glue. I tried alcohol and that didn't work. I'm worried about messing up the dash with goo gone, etc. Has anyone else had to do this?

they gave me the option of having it there or not installing it for me to...so they didnt install it and im glad they didnt!!
Unfortunately, I didn't have that option. I would just leave it there if the glue would actually hold it there like it's supposed to.
Goo Gone shouldn't hurt the dash at all, but try it on a small spot in the corner first just in case.
Try to do a nylon sticky patch and put it under it...that will probably hold it there since the carpet has some weight to it..
hum, i haven't had that problem at all, thats such a bummer i think the carpet is cute.

anyway, my boyfriend and i detailed cars all summer last year...and we used googone on just about everything you can think of. it didn't do anything to dashboards, so i would try that.
They should have fired the person who said, "let's put shag on the dash." As soon as I got home from the dealership I tossed it in the trash. I used Goo-off and then some Armour-all. THere is one really small spot of where the glue leached into the dash material. I will get that off also. Shag! What were they thinking :no:

??????????????????????????????????????

At least you could have donated it to one of your fellow Cube lovers. :(
Maybe you haven't noticed, Pejay, but most of us cubists LOVE the carpet circle. It not only garners attention from EVERYONE, it also gets smart people to ask stupid questions!

"Uh...what's the carpet for???"

I had an engineer friend ask me what it's for (LOL).

I am far from being an engineer... but knew immediately that the shag would retain my sunglasses. Duh!

Call me weird but i love the Cubic Hair. Keeps my MP3 player from flying all over and is a conversation piece at the gas station. I am looking for the same carpet so I can make myself a football shaped piece for in front of the glove box.

If you find a roll, let me know. I want to make floor mats.

Holds my blackberry in place too. But if you forget it, its in the direct hot sun so be careful.

I use the bungees to hold my sunglasses, slide one arm in and held firm.
