I removed my black dash pad and covered the top of dash with black crinkle finish vinyl ( kinda pebble grained -like a football!). I trimmed the plastic for a close fit along the winshield and extended the new vinyle so that it would be covered when the dash pad was re-installed....I used a coat of contact cement on the metal dash top and a coat of cement on the vinyl. Then cut out the holes for the defroster vents that I had previously removed. Re-installed the dash pad and defroster vents.
Did all this about 10 yrs ago....and no problems.......Jim
