I need to wrap my factory plastic dash grills with grill cloth and adhere it to the back side.
Something that can be squeezed on or brushed on would be preferable to a spray on product.
What is the go-to product for this?

Contact cement
Like this? Made for automotive use so hopefully stand up to the heat with the car sitting in the sun all day...

Gel super glue will work also, and is instant hold
My installer friend told me to use tesa double sided tape so that's what I did. Sticks to my pillars and holds the grille cloth great. Way easier than glue, too. Plus, if you don't get the stretch you want you can peel it off and readjust as needed. One of those items you think "why didn't someone tell me about this sooner!"
This is the exact stuff I bought:
Tesa 4965 Double-sided Scrapbook Tape, 36 yard Length, 1/2" Width, 8 mil Thick, Clear (Pack of 1) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004V3XQXK..._21-0zb9D934QJ
He lives!
:p
Awesome... Thanks Erin!Quote:

No issues. All good.
Works in high stress/temperature conditions.
If you are gluing from behind the panel, so it can't be seen, hot glue is this bomb.
If there're corners where the cloth overlaps same the cloth coming the other way, a power stapler may work. I use an air stapler (with compressor) and a manual (spring loaded) stapler for home speaker grills or dining chair seat covers.
