Two in one day.....
you need to coarse sand both the dash top and the inside of the cap- they
must be clean , also dry fit the thing as you may need to trim it
slightly here and there.
Any silicone based adhesive - even "gasket goo" should do it.
holding it in place whilst drying is not easy - I can only relate what I
have done which seems to work.
For lateral pressure, a length of timber wedged with broomsticks or
similar from the rear fire wall between the seats. for downward pressure,
rolled rubber mats jammes between the windscreen and the cap seem to do
the trick! - leave for 24 hours or so.
Its one of those satisfying jobs you can do in an afternoon and well
worth the effort.
