dash cap

installed a dash cap some time ago. about every six months or so the silicone lets lose and i have clean everything up and reglue. i live in southwest florida where its always hot and the car sits in the employee parking lot 4 days a week. As i start work late the dash only gets a couple of hours of direct sunlight. The rest of the time its garaged. i use 100% silicone as directed by the manufacturer. Is there a solution to this? the dash cap from above gauges to the end of the radio is the only part that comes loose. thanks for your input

I presume it is an adhesive silicone that you are utilizing? I believe that there is a difference between that and regular silicone. Wiping stuff down with denatured alcohol beforehand?

the first time it was the tube that came with dash pad the second time it was clear rtv silicone adhesive. idon't remember for sure but i think i did use denature alcohol.

Florida sun is a cruel bitch to cars. If the surfaces were clean and it still let go then some other type of adhesive is probably warranted. :dunno:

any suggestions?

Is double sided tape an option?

I COULD TRY? did you have a particular brand in mind?

Not really, but I have had good luck with 3M before on other projects.

THANKS i'll give it a try.
