Ideas for covering glue residue spot on passenger air bag cover
Alright guys, so the prior owner of my car thought it would be a good idea to glue a gps mount to the dash. He chose the passenger side air bag cover. well, unfortunately you either replace the whole dash or live with it. Anybody have a good suggestion on something that could go over it? LOL. The spot is about a 2"x2" square. I will try to throw a picture up of it this evening. The rest of the dash is absolutely perfect as the car only had 35k miles on it when i got it.

If it's a hard, epoxy type glue, scrape gently with a razor blade and see how it goes. Will most likely have to respray to hide the color difference. If soft or pliable, so to speak, take a petroleum based cleaner ie, wax and grease remover, "Goo Gone" type stuff and wet rag with it and keep area wet for a little while. Should soften up what's there. Let us know how it works out.

Thought i read where you couldnt just replace the panel?
Tried using a razor blad a little while back but no luck. Looks like gorilla glue or something. I really wonder about people sometimes. I may try to give it another shot with a razor blade and see if i can get it to starts flaking or shaving off. any chance SSEM makes a good match to the dash color? Could always lightly sand it off with some sand paper. Not aggressive but just enough to start dusting it off and then respray.
