Interior Trim coming up

swunder · 07-05-2018, 05:16 PM

Hi everyone, I have two very minor issues with my interior trim --

Around the center console the trim itself is peeling up off the plastic. Can I just use super glue? Gorilla glue? Anything specific to auto trim needed?

The long piece of trim above the glove box is popped off at the end. I can pop it back in but it comes right back up, like a clip is broken maybe. Can I replace this clip? Or is it the dashboard maybe?

Make sure that orange clip underneath is lined up properly to the trim piece. It really shouldn't be popping up unless the pieces are not lined up.

I think it's the material on the dash just stretching over time, letting go its grab on the orange clip. Mine did the same thing, I just cut some felt to wrap around the orange clip, and it was enough to hold the trim in place and also stop a squeak.

It shouldn't be happening that soon on a 2013 model unless the car spends most of its time sitting out in the scorching sun.

Orange clip is replaceable. They are often a one time use part, the tabs that hold them in the hole in dash deform when they are pulled out.
