The problem is that dashboard is defective and I've heard glueing it will only postpone the inevitable. Good luck! Brian '99 SVT Blk/mid blue #2414 7/30/99 (a Friday car) '99 SE (Wife's)

I never noticed anything coming undone but if so, I've got 40k on mine also. hmm.... I hate little things like this... -Dan 1998.5 SVT "Black and Blue" #5292 See here for MOD list.
