My father did 'auto trim' work for over 40 years. I did this type of job with him literally hundreds of times. 3M 77 contact cement, Permatex upholstery adhesive, or generically named 'headliner adhesive', is the right product.

Goop is one of, if not the best glue on the market, I have used it for everything including shoe soles, a tube of that should do the trick for you. Report back on what glue you used and how it worked.

Thanks to everyone who answered my post.
My brother was in the auto body repair business, and he offered to help when we get together in March. So, I think I'll wait untill then to tackle the job. I know that he has used some of the products suggested in the replies to my post.

I love GOOP and use it all the time. Great to have on any RV trip,
Just beware. GOOP has limited ability to hold hard plastic and fiberglass. Its shear strength is particularly low because it has to be applied relatively thick. I guess that's another reason I like it. You can remove GOOP without using a solvent. Just rub and you are able remove all traces from hard surfaces.
3M 77 and its preferred commercial cousin 3M 38008 Headliner Adhesive is more tenacious and permanent. Once dry, you cannot remove with friction alone.

Another fan of Shoe Goo and Goop. Pretty much the same product from the same company.

One thought is that the backing material may be coming off of the dash material, so no adhesive will work unless you bond to the top layer as well.

Had the same problem. I used 3M double sided industrial tape - gray material with the red covering. I use that on many things in the rig. For example, I installed crown molding in my rig with this tape because I did not want to use nails. I love this stuff.

Yup.... Apply to both sides, and let dry to tacky. Then press together for a permanent bond.
This stuff is made for high temp automotive use where temps can go up to 140-150 in a car interior. You can get it at NAPA auto parts, about $14.00 but works great.
Unless tomorrow has been promised to you, you better get busy today.
