Chrome Inserts Bumper and Dash
Just picked up two sets of Chrome inserts for the rear and dash. The inserts worked well on the rear bumper but the dash inserts DO NOT STICK! Anyone else have this problem? I cleaned the area really good, it seems that the sticky part of the letters do not stick to well to the dash.
Happy with the Bumper, not with the DASH!!!
BTW..these are the GM Chrome inserts.

So anyone have any ideas how to get the Dash inserts to stick? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
I just called the Vendor (Located in Daytona) and he agreed to send me another set for the dash.
Sooooo
DID ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?

I think G.M. made the dash non-stick for a reason...The air bag is behind it and by putting anything on it it may cause injury if something is applied to it. Just give it some thought,Do you really want to chance hurting a loved one???

I never gave much thought about hurting someone with the air bag being deployed! But the letters I have are SOFT and almost like a sticker so I wouldn't worry too much. The Vendor I got them from is going to send another set out today.

Mine are soft and not SS. They have a GM part number, I would say they are soft plastic.

Clean the dash area several times using a cotton swab soaked in alcohol. Make sure the area is dry prior to attempting install of letters.
Helps to use a hair dryer on the dash area prior to and after install of letters. Heat will activate the adhesive and help the letters conform to the dash.
