[JVP]

how did u go mate?

mine is shitting me to tears....

[djr81]

I have a question. How hot is err, hot, ie how hot does the dash have to be?

[Sqd32]

it worked for about half an hour, then i think just because its hot, it might be an idea to try when its a bit colder out cuz it kinda goes back to normal lol

Try injecting glue into it? I'm thinking about having a go myself.

I've got a nice bubble too!

[ali-turko]

i did mine and come up pretty good not like factory but u cant tell the was a bubble ever there, and its been 2 days and hasnt poped back up

[DjeMz]

When you say inject super glue... how? Literally make a tiny hole n squeeze super glue through it??

[[mez]]

Put glue into a syringe and inject it into the bubble, i guess.

[ali-turko]

Ive tried super glue before its to thick to get it into the syringe, Its just a mess.

Ive tried with a heat gun and also super glue with a needle. Did not work, I read somewhere a guy did it from behind the dash, with super glue mite be worth a try

[mava_rules]

guys, so youve had a bash at it lol. will get it cracked and let you know, mine has poped back up again but im not giving up, if the heat gun gives a tempory solution then a fix is not far off, will let you all know when i crack it!

[anthonymcgrath]

just an update for you all here - apparently the last post about removing the glove box and injecting in some expanding foam stuff seems to have worked out well. Take a look over Mava's thread again and see what you think.

Guys heres the reply instead of linking back:-

"ok, pics will follow when i have time, permanent fix requires:

removal of glove box. there you can see the plastic backing of the dashboard. drill a small hole in the middle behind the bubble dont go through the front! and 2 smaller ones at each end of the buble.

use some expanding foam to fill the middle hole and continue until it comes out both lttle holes. clamp and leave overnight.

superglue doesnt work as the foam backing of the dash absorbs it and goes hard, also liquid nails is too thick to spread inside the hole.

caution if you heat it slightly when you put the foam behind as mine started expanding outover until i clamped it lol.

mines all mupy now due to the superglue but its now stuck in place with the foam and if i had done that first i would be more than happy lol.

will get pics up soon. "

I'll be trying this later in the week with before and after photos for everyones inspection

[subie]

any update pics mate?

and what do u mean by using heat?

Cheers
