Default Quick question

So due to the heat the other day the glue on my glovebox failed and the face completely came off... So my question to you guys, what type of glue would you recommend to fix this issue?

Thanks

gotta be a 240, eh?

I put my daughter's 240 glove box front on with 3M weatherstrip adhesive (aka 'gorilla snot') about 10 years ago, and its still firmly attached.

wipe both surfaces clean with isopropyl alcohol, let it dry, apply a liberal coat of gorilla snot to both surfaces, let them dry, apply another coat on the loose piece, and put it on and press firmly. you get one chance to get it lined up right, so practice that move before you glue it !!!! once that stuff bonds, its pretty much forever.

oh, it comes in black and yellow. doesn't matter, they both glue the same.

When you say let dry on both side do you mean solid or tacky?
