Gluing in for what? And where in the install are you referring?

If you are talking about into plastic dash pieces, 3M's Duramix products are top-notch. Use a 40/40 Adhesive bead (you need a caulk type gun), the finish off with 40/58 paste. Easy to use, great results. Hard to get.
Guess you could look for any 2part plastic adhesive.

yes I was referring to dash pieces. What is the 40/58 used for?

40/58 is a finishing paste I think.
I know the 40/40 is the adhesive.

Think of it as bondo for plastic. It is simple a filler used to fill in the holes after the plastics have bonded and after sanding.
