Well....this bites.
The glue held up for about 7 yrs but finally let go on one of my gauge bezels. I saw it this AM when I went out for an early morning drive. Fortunately, not a tough job to fix......but still a PIA. I guess it will give me the chance to see how the other bezels are holding up.

Mine came off even when applied with superglue on my 97 C5 several times over the 4 years of ownership, mostly in cold weather.
So when I bought my 02, I was sure these pieces were not on my Mod list.

That sucks. Good luck tearing the dash apart and getting the bezel back in place.

I have used 3m exterior body tape on my Z for almost 6 years now and the vert for over a year in hot cold and 25k miles of driving. Fingers crossed I never have an issue. On an upside they get easier each time.

One word: silicone. You just have to be careful with the distribution as it can ooze if you use too much.
"If it can't be fixed with silicone...it can't be fixed."
