Glovebox and trim repair help
I searched a bit and did not find much about how people have fixed the upper glove box when the perforated vinyl starts to come off. Any help?
Also, in the back seats the perforated vinyl (leather?) above the armrests keeps coming loose. I have tucked it in a few times but it does not stay. It looks really sticky in there, not sure what type of adhesive might work.
Thanks.

I fixed my WITHOUT tearing about the dash...and it turned out great.
I first pulled the trim/material piece up even further (about 1-2"?) to allow me to get some good adhesive behind the trim...the entire length (left to right) of the upper glove box.
I then pushed the trim down onto the adhesive...and then the trick.... I took a wooden ruler (one that has a slight bevel on it) and slid it in the gap where the glove box door meets the upper dash. The ruler essentially stayed in place without holding it (since it was wedged between the two surfaces).
Left it like that overnight, etc.... and then removed the ruler....looks good as new

I used some adhesive that another member recommended.... "Amazing GOOP" Automotive Contact Adhesive. It is in the "RED" package (I think there are other types of Amazing GOOP that are packaged in different colors...but the one I used has "GOOP" written in RED and the tube itself is gray in color.
Good luck
