Holy cow what a pain in the keester. I bought the stuff to redo the interior on my K20 and it came with a dash pad cover with a French seam down the middle length. Seems simple. Contact cement on the fabric, contact cement on the dash pad. Wait till its barely tacky, install the pad.

We had six hands and couldn't get that stupid seam straight. Crazy frustrating, no idea how the upholstery guys do it. So I'm going to just go ahead and order a plain ol new black dash.

No I'm not going to show a picture
