Buick Excelle dashboard peeling self-repair method is: 1. If the vehicle is still under warranty, you can directly go to the after-sales service for repair; 2. If the vehicle is out of warranty, you can purchase strong adhesive yourself, apply it to the peeling area, and then press firmly to fix it. Taking the 2020 Buick Excelle as an example, its front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, the rear suspension is a compound torsion beam non-independent suspension, equipped with a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum horsepower of 107ps, maximum torque of 133Nm, maximum power of 79kW, matched with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been repairing cars for many years, and fixing the delaminated dashboard on a Buick Excelle by yourself isn't actually difficult. First, gather your tools: a small brush, a vacuum cleaner, good-quality universal glue or dashboard-specific adhesive, a damp cloth, and paper towels. Make sure the car is turned off and cooled down, as high temperatures can worsen the delamination. Cleaning is crucial—start by vacuuming the dust, then wipe the delaminated area clean with a damp cloth, ensuring no water stains remain. Apply a tiny amount of glue along the edges of the crack, press gently for a few minutes to ensure a strong bond, and avoid using too much glue to prevent overflow and staining the interior. Wait one or two days for complete curing before using the car. Be careful during the process to avoid touching the airbag or electronic wiring harnesses, as the Buick Excelle's dashboard houses sensitive components. If the delamination is severe, stop and consult a professional. Parking in the shade regularly can prevent recurrence, as plastic aging is a common issue. This way, you save money and pick up a useful skill.
