Ohh, and with the heating gun, do you mean heating the fabric to make it tighter or more flexible?

Heat gun to make it more flexible.
It\'s the done thing to take the extra backing off when trimming panels. You keep it on if you\'re retrimming seats etc. Also the backing is more textured & the glue, once applied will have high & low points but whatever floats your boat.

You can\'t use any old glue & definitely not spray adhesive from Wickes etc.
Get in touch Audioscape & tell them Seth sent you, James will know what you need, in particular A29 which is highly resistent to temprature change. Once it sticks, it\'s not coming off! So be very precise...

I was sort of hoping you\'d tell me what sort of glue I should use, so I could buy it in norway..

With the centre pod, have you considered cutting the dash and inserting it from below? You won\'t have that step around the base then, just the nice angled sides coming up, giving it a less "stuck on" feel. I could draw a diagram to explain it better but hopefully you know what I mean...

That is of course if you\'ve not already finalised the design! :Giggle

Ahh sorry, this is the trouble being a newbie, you don\'t have a handle properly where people are upto with their cars. Didn\'t know if you were still trying out ideas.

Retrim looks to be going well though, remember retrimming my old motor, got to loving the smell of Evo-Stik after that...
