The opening to the dash has to be sewed in order to fit correctly. I took
mine to an upholstery guy with the old one, and he duplicated the factory
oval that makes it a clean install. Very worth letting the pro's do it.
The stone guards from Moss suck. I went through a few to get ones that were
straight and didn't have dents in them. Again, I took them to the guy that
did my body work, and let him install them. They have tricks and tools with
metal bending we'll never know. Also if he scratches the paint on the
install, he buys the re-touch.
