They just sort of snap on then you leave them in the sun a bit and they snug up even more. The really cheap, thin ones need glue to stay on. |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Sep 30 2019, 04:37 AM) QUOTE(Chris914n6 @ Sep 29 2019, 01:05 AM) 2nd on Dash Mat. Cheap, you can hide stuff under it, and it will keep the sun off the new replacement. @Chris914n6 @Brcacti (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Sorry guys I hope that didn't come off as condescending toward carpet toppers. That wasn't my intent. My point was there was another option for carpet type toppers which wasn't on the table in the discussion yet. My buddies and I used to refer to any of the fuzzy dash toppers, sheepskin seat covers (remember those?), or fuzzy steering wheel covers as Monkey Fur - tongue in cheek name. I actually had one in the 80's and used it to hide my cracked dash that I couldn't afford to fix and carpet topper was the cheapest fix for me. I'm not even sure if Coverlay's were available in the late 80's? Sorry if I offended anyone using carpet type toppers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I have carpet topper and it stays atleast in the summer,my dash is perfect and I want it to stay that way,we have very high UV rating in my country,I think they are pretty ugly...monkey fur (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . |

Carpet topper is your easiest best bang for the $.
The coverlay is not bad, I used silicone glue to hold it in place. The biggest problem I had was that I could tell the grain and knew it was there. Other than that looked good. Of course there is the new dash option, but it's a matter of priorities. |

Hey Jeff-
Lots of choices, but let me know if and when you decide to go with 914Rubber dash. My personal record time on replacing a dash is 2:15. This was recently for local member @second wind It will cost you a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) though. Oscar |

I will say that the 914rubber dash is very nice. You won't regret spending the money. |
