Default Winters coming

Hey guys,

I'm looking to get an aluminum Dash Kit for my tC, but I'm wondering how it will stay on when it gets really cold in winter. I know they use 3M tape, but I just feel that the glue wouldn't hold it onto the plastic in the really cold weather. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Experiences?? I could use the advice.

um yes epoxy would be messy, plus, epoxy won't harden when it's cold outside. you can add hardnener but that's just a mess to do.
