I believe super glue is used....anybody who has done this can confirm?

I know Jack did this, you have to be careful to keep it only on one side.....

4-5 dabs of Crazy glue around the back perimeter will do fine.

I used "Goop" adhesive. I've never had good luck with Crazy glue and it's dangerously thin.

I was worried about it running onto the face of the gauges. Mine have been in for about a year.

I would say that goop is a better alternative.

I would use something a little more flexible than super glue......

The expansion/contraction of the rings due to thermal changes could be enough to fracture the super glue. A really good rubber cement or a good silicone adhesive would be better IMO.

Used Silicone --Goop will work as well, I think

the problem with crazy glue is that if you get it on the glass, you are screwed . There is no way to get it off. Someone on a4 forum I think drop some on, then tried to remove it, making even bigger mess.
