Whoever put mine on used double sided tape
Needless to say when the car moved to FL, They started slipping. I'm trying Elmers Pro contact cement in the mini toothpaiste tube. Gotta be carefull cause it can get really messy. I'll let you know though.

I used Rubber cement .... it's lasted overnight so far

Good thing about rubber cement is that even though it might be a tad messy if you're not careful with it..... it's very easy to clean up. Rubbing w/ the finger = gone. Even if the rubber cement doesn't work for me I still have to take the gauges back out later.... b/c I've yet to find a decent 115mph speedo deal on here.... going to take the pic and make one myself tonight more than likely.

What's wrong with just super glue? Dries in seconds
