I'm trying to install a new dash pad from DashesDirect in my 67 convertible. The pad fits pretty well, but the upper dash trim over the glove box won't fit at the same time. I trimmed the edge a little, but it still doesn't fit. Is there something I'm missing? Has anyone else had trouble with this?

here a photo do the studs line up?https://mustangforums.com/photo.asp?...=6&apage=2

 

the studs on the trim piece line up fine when the dash top is off. When the dash is on, the trim piece won't slide far enough up to line up the studs. That dash looks great. What kind of dash pad is that? Did you have to trim it any?

 

no I did not hvae to trim the pad or the trim!"but" I did have to take the dash pad off beacusethe dash trimdid not line up I had to hit the dash up with a hammer and alot of arm muscle lol (do not hit the glass) intill it fitkeep checking it as you go till it fits and thats it I hope this helps you out good luck if you need any more help just ask

 

you and me are going through the same crap. i tried ramming mine on today and trimmed a few.. the top doesnt feel like it slides back far enough and i cannot get the trim pieces on correctly.. i gave up finally and started tearing into the motor. i might just go buy one from NPD so i know it'll fit :/

 

how much did you pay, im looking to get one ? weres the best place?

 

i paid like 140.00 for mine but it's not "original" it's better but it's molded i think so it's like.. i dunno how to explain it. i'd rather of gotten an original as this one doesn't even have holes for the screws at the lip in the front :|
