Hello:
Is replacing the dash cap a straight forward job? Are there any hidden problems I should be aware off?

Thank-you for reply.

 

its a pretty straightforward job, i did it a buttload of times on my pops old 81. pulling it off makes for easy electrical work, too.

the hardest part is getting the screws at the front, by the defrost vents. After that, you're golden...

 

Thank-you.

 

How are the carpet dash covers?

Thank-you.

 

carpet dash covers are great for protectingthe dash pad from UV rays, or to cover badly worn, cracked, or faded covers.

Never really my thing, but a bunch of people i know have them.

 

Either stuff a rag in the defroster ducts or use a magnetic tipped screwdriver or have one of those long reach magnetic pickup tools handy. A screw will drop in there.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

 

I bought a cap that goes on over the old one. You must cut away any part of the old one that gets in the way of the new part that is the curled up material where the old pad cracked. That is pretty easy and it fit perfectly. I chose not to glue it down since it fit tight and stays in place by friction. Delivered, a little over a C note. You can find them by searching for a dash, cap, cover, etc.

 

Thank-you, good to know.
