Would like advice on installing ABS Dash cover for 78 Cutlass

I would like some advice if anyone has installed an ABS Dash Cover on a 78-88 Cutlass. OPGI has repro dashes for Monte carlo/El camino but no others.. I even found a good dash on line but the shippers destroyed it getting to my house..

Yeah I know they are crap but I aint gonna spend the almost $4K Just Dashes wants plus shiiping my dash there and back.. Hell almost what I paid for the whole car. 1978 Cutlasses with a 6 cyl aint worth that much..

Just wondering what glue you used, and any tricks while installing???

Thanks

Fred

The one I put in my truck came with silicone and it works.

Don't forget to see other threads on our site about dashboard repair.

If you decide to go with a cap make sure the original is super clean before you add glue and install the cap. I suggest using mild soapy water to start and then follow up with degreaser from the auto parts store.
