Hey I am buying an LCD.. Pics below and there is a nice flat spot on the hatches dash for it to sit.. I just dont know how I am going to secure it... I dont want to put any holes in the dash or damage it... but I know double sided tape doesnt work on dashes as it just slips off,,, What else can I do? Here is a pic of the lcd and stand so you know how it looks..

The best way to do it would be to use some screws, would be really easy.

If you clean the area really well, double-sided tape should work. Just swab the hole area with rubbing alcohol to remove any residual Armorall or whatever, and then wash with a little soapy water to get rid of the residue left by the alcohol... the tape should adhere better that way, and you may want to use a heat-gun to warm up the tape so that it sticks better.

I still say go with screws though.

Could try Crazy Glue, but then, you might never get it off. I've used a hot glue gun on some interior pieces before. I like it the best since it holds well on plastics, and can be easily peeled off if I mess up.

You like the LCD?

6" real diagonal length.

If i screw it will leave holes in my dash :22yikes:

Also is the dash think enough for the screws to "bite" into enough to hold the lcd down?

Thanks

3m makes some really high end double sided tape... I mean, they stick trim panels onto cars with the stuff...

yea your best bet would be to use screws to secure it..because after awhile double sided tape would start to get less stickey. but i like the screen how much did you get that for?

That's the way I'd probably want to go, because if you stick an LCD screen right on top of the dash, your car might as well have a neon sign that says "come steal my loot".

LoL I have a pretty good alarm plus I would keep it covered lol... I will have a look at putting it there... just worried u wont be able to view it very well because of the gear knob and angle.

Ill wait and see how it goes.
