Gluing part of Interior Trim

PlioBond is good, very durable and applies with a brush but 1) you get one shot at placement and 2) it has an odor for a few weeks until it fully cures.
You could also use Permatex trim adhesive or Permatex vinyl/cloth adhesive. Both are good and allow adjustment after fitting, but require holding the material until they dry.
I just used both on my old BMW interior, depends on the application. I prefer PlioBind IF you are confident you can get good initial placement.

Like said above, the key there is to use an adhesive that's compatible with vehicle interior plastics. Use quality blue painter's tape to secure the part until the adhesive dries.
If I understand you correctly, the dash panel trim is lifting from the knee bolster area?
This is a pretty standard adhesive for automotive trim like that - headliners, etc. Would likely be what I would reach for first, 3M Super 77:

The presumption with this stuff is you are doing a larger area thus the desire to spray an even application widely. If it is a small area, I see no reason contact cement as mentioned above by supton would not work just fine.

Pliobond 20, or whatever equivalent compliant version is available in your state. Some formulas can't be sold in MA for example, due to VOC's.
Yes, the car is at church so I can't take a picture right now. BUT, you are correct in the location. It's that little 8 inch by 4 inch padding
that comes from the ignition switch down to your right knee.
Gebo, good to see you back here. Please let us know what you wind up using, and how well it works.
Will do. With the gasoline situation here, I’ll probably be minimizing my driving the next little bit. Some stations are already out of gas.
Since it’s jusy unattached at the bottom, I don’t think a spray will work as good as a brush application.

Is that trim piece normally removeable? Assuming no, from the pic that appears appropriate for contact cement; you seem to be able to get at both sides and getting alignment for the one shot wont be difficult.
