Re: C2 Dash Pad Air Pocket
Kirk and Jim,
The third time was the charm
!! The Rhino Glue worked great. I would like to be the new poster child for this product. My only regret is that I didn't find it prior to the first & second attempts. The glue is a perfect consistency and flowed through the syringe & needle with ease. I wiped a little ArmorAll on the vinyl prior to injecting the glue to help wipe off any residual glue to avoid "collateral damage". After injecting the glue, I quickly massaged it around the air pocket to spread the glue and then pressed down on the vinyl using a clean T-shirt rag wrapped around my fingers (still moving my fingers around a little to make sure the glue spread). After a minute or two, the vinyl was bonded to the foam rubber substrate. I felt some mild heat through the vinyl from the chemical reaction of the glue (similar to Krazy Glue). I then injected one additional spot to make sure the entire air pocket was glued, did the massage, and pressed down as before. Now, the air pocket is completely gone
!! I don't see why it wouldn't work on a door panel as well. The only thing that kept my repair from perfect is a minor "hump" due to dried glue from the previous repair attempts. It is very minor and I can certainly live with it. If I found the Rhino Glue first, I am certain that the repair would have been 100% versus what I consider 90% - but I'm a perfectionist and I'm very happy with the results. Don't buy a new door panel or dash pad until you try this repair first. It worked for me, so it should work for you, too!
Good luck,
