Another dash radius question

I'm using some door trim rubber for a Mini that just pushes onto the bottom of the dash. Is this going to be ok or does it need to be permanantly fixed?

SVA bloke said mine had to be permanently fixed. Superglue did the job, dash re-covered after SVA

My dash is already fitted and ready to go so i need to permanantly fix something. I don't want to rivet anything on as that will leave holes after.

hmmm

I stapled mine on, worked a treat, but obviously the dash has to be ply!

Mines ally and carbon fiber looky likey fiberglass. I think i'm going to have to rivet something on there and sort the holes out later.

I find that hot glue is as permanent as you need it to be. It holds pretty much anything in place and when you want to remove it just carefully peel it away - it doesn't leave a mark.
