The PO of my other truck hacked the dash up to the extent that the studs would not fit into the metal dash properly anymore....and then to put it back on, they laid down two lines of silicone on the top/bottom edges of the dashpad! It took me over an hour and a half of pulling/tugging and priying to get it off!

But I finally got it. Now I'll have to put it on my daily driver when I get it all finished up.

I am so stealing that line about flopping around inside the cab. It describes my experiences with work in the cab so well
