Airbag decals falling off!
It's been 3 months and the airbag decals are beginning to peel off. Any suggestions on what kind of adhesives to use?
Here's what they looked liked when I first installed them:

If there was ever any Armorol (spelling?) on the dash, it's very hard to get them to stick. I cleaned mine with Dawn, followed by mineral spirits and finally with denatured alcohol. Mine have been on for three years with no problem.

I would just peel them off and use some 3M Super 77 spray adhesive on the back. When my SS insterts started to peel off I used this and they are sticking great. You can get it at Home Depot, Lowes, ect.

I bought mine from Corvette Accessories Unlimited about three years ago and they are holding just fine. It could be that the surface of the airbag was not free of any protectant/etc. when you installed them or it could be that the decal set's adhesive was just not that good. May want to just get another set and make sure to use some denatured alcohol to really clean the area.
