Chrome Gauge Ring (Cefiro) fell off while driving...Too hot? Help needed.

1 fell off right after I put her in first, 30 seconds after I opened the car from probably being 110 degrees in there. My question: Should I just simply try to stick it back on or should get new "sticky" (Sorry for lack of terminology) stuff? Anybody know where to get more "sticky" stuff from? Any suggestions would help...Thanks.

I have the same problem. It's been 'hanging out' in my gauge cluster since last summer I'm just going to take it off when I replace my indiglo gauges. -AnGe

I used clear silicone to keep mine in. Just a small bead around the ring works very well, and it's easy to clean off if you ever want to remove the rings.

use small drops of Crazy glue on the insides and it will never come out again, mine use to do that and they were fine ever since. Take your time.

When I put mine in I used some super glue to go with the included sticky crap. Here in AZ you can never be too sure, but 100 degrees for weeks hasn't loosened em any

No, use a thin bead. Wipe the excess off the outside.

My rings are still on there pretty good ... but it took me 2 weeks to finish putting it on though ....

I'd push down and wiggle it everyday, then used a needle to scrape off the excess 'putty' that oozed out so it wouldn't be visible. Fingers crossed, it's still in there. Vibration check (I live off a dirt road) has passed so far.
