I did my impala's dash in vinyl, and replaced the headliner with 3M glues, and the vinyl started bubbling the first hot day and the headliner sagged. Black surfaces in a black car are brutal.
Which 3m did u use?ihave been using 77 up until now but it's all ready giving me trouble so I am going to try a different brand

Given the time and effort you are putting in, I can see why some of these guys get the money they do to redo the corvette interior in leather.
