don't use glue. Properly clean and dry off your panel with alcohol before applying the vinyl. After wards lightly spray it with 3m adhesive spray/promoter after that apply the vinyl and slightly blow dry it from a far at low heat

and if you really think its heat from the sun I suggest you get the shade cover for your dash, tint your windows, maybe even open your sun roof a little to let some air circulate

welp best bet is to get real carbon fiber pieces then, or the carbon fiber overlay, or make your own

Did you buy the pre-cut carbon fiber overlay or did you cut it yourself?

I bought the pre-cut kit and it wraps over the edges of the trims. So I tuck the excess underneath the trim instead of cutting it off with an exacto knife. I think the key thing is to take your time applying it on, making sure you smooth it out to get rid of any air bubbles. I haven't had any problems for almost 2 years since I installed it, regardless of heat/etc.

Try 3M primer 94 if you are having problems with the vinyl adhesion...
