Tom,
Any of us that have cars with leather dashboards (2010 Jag XKR) who live in warm climates have experienced dash "shrinkage" where the leather has dis-attached from the frame and pulled back some. You can glue 'til the cows come home, but it will keep happening unless you anchor with staples under the edges of the dash. The adhesives are asked to do more than they're capable of doing. I just recently had the dash pulled from my Pantera and recovered in leather with explicit instructions to use short staples into the frame to combat this problem. It is the only way with a high temp adhesive to insure that it doesn't keep happening. Good luck.
