Adhesive Help

[jeeper31]

I am trying to attach a dash disk to the underside of my dashboard in my '98 Boxster in order to use a suction cup mount for my GPS. The dash disk came with 3M tape on it. That stuck for a few seconds until the weight of the GPS unit ripped it off the dash. I tried again with 3M heavy duty molding tape. It stayed a little longer (a few minutes) until gravity won out. I am looking for something to attach this disk to the dash that won't come off until I want to take it off.

Any ideas? I don't want to ruin the dash.

Thanks.

Try wiping with acetone (test first) then denatured alcohol, air dry, then try again with molding tape. You have some treatment, perhaps silicone-based, on the dash tjat is keeping the adhesive from adhering.
