Thoughts on Dashboard Cap

They've been discussed in the past.  I believe Esty has successfully painted & installed them.  You need to get the old dash relatively smooth & use mucho adhesive with weight to hold the cap down to fit well.

not a lot of adhesive is necessary...i only glued the edges at the bottom and around the glove box....unless the dash is really trashed or has mountains on it, smooth is not a requirement...i've installed several and never payed much attention to the naysayers...

 

ask yourself this...would alex trebeck be more handsome bald from chemotherapy or with the wig...alex-trebek-x9_992.jpg.973838f91fee33cb5e6b9f7474b2945e.jpg

Just fit it as you suggested. Really happy with how it came out.
