Ideally it's done with the screen out as it tucks under the apron seal, =
but you can probably get round that - once you have the old cover off.  =
Also the dash crash rail removed, which probably needs the dash to be =
removed or again you have the edge facing you to deal with.  I did my 73 =
as part of a restoration so all that was out of the way anyway.

Remove the screen vents.

Then it depends on how easily you can get the old one off, and how =
smooth it leaves the surface.  Use spray adhesive to fix the new one, =
and cut the slots for the screen vents afterwards. =20

That's by memory from 32 years ago anyway.

  We need to install the replacement dash cover on a 1980 MGB.  Any tips =
from those who have already done it?
