My overlay from Moss provided "GE (brand) Clear RTV Silicone Auto Seal".
The instructions were to 1) level any cracked vinyl with a knife, then 2)
apply a bead about a half-inch from the edges of the overlay; then 3) hold
in place after positioning for a couple hours with a weight (I used books
and rolls of paper towels wedged against the windshield).

Your intuition is correct, remove the defroster vents and ashtray first,
then reinstall afterwards. (On my 1500, the vent hardware captures the
tonneau fasteners.)
My overlay still looks great three years after installation BTW.
