And I thought the panel was molded w/ attachment lugs. It's no wonder that my prior questions on the attachment method went unanswered! You can't know how glad I am that the pictures posted above showed up here.

It is notable that the A/C controls float in their chassis and are fixed in position by the two screws which mate with this panel. In other words this thing is only held in by whatever means (e.g. double sided tape / velcro / whatever) one comes up with.

I think some thin velcro is a better idea

Securing it is a bit of a ***** (still haven't done mine) but the fact that holes are not sanded is good because you can stick your gauges in and they sits there pretty tight

If you secure the climate controls to the dash board the panel will be pulled in tight by the 2 screws. The top gets wedged in under the the upper vent panel, the gauge panel will be very secure and does not move at all if installed correctly.

It is almost impossible to duplicate the factory clips in fiberglass and they will eventually break off. Keep in mind that this is not a factory part that just snaps in, but if you install it correctly it will fit and look like a factory panel. I will try to post a step by step installation guide soon.

Thanks,
Craig

Throw a few pics in of it going under the A/C vents... The piece looks really nice, but I concerned about how it being secured will hold up over time.

haven't installed mine yet, but I am getting more and more discouraged at the comments being made about installing this thing with double sided tape, velcro, whatever...

Install pics so we can do this the right way would be very appreciated!

You do not need to use velcro or double sided tape, the screws will hold the panel in tight as long as the climate controls are secured to the dash. I will post some installation pictures as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Nice pics, but what size are those gauges? They are a bit too big for my tastes... then again, I am old... the glasses don't help as much as they used to...
