<p>There was one installed on my 1980 MGB when I bought the car. It
looked OK, a lot better than the dash it was covering. I swapped
dashes a couple of years ago and removed the cover - it looked
like it had been held on with thick beads/smears of flexible
adhesive, like a silicone. Looking at the cover panel there isn't
any sign that it was trimmed. Since the adhesive on mine was
pretty clearly not applied only at the outside edges, the PO of my
car might have bought a different cover, or just ignored the
instructions. Whatever the case, it fit well enough to look like
a nice, smooth dash.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hmmm -- definite difference here between
your comments and the instructions that came with the Moss
panel (“Dash top pad covers,” 453-905). The pad is meant to
be glued <u>over</u> the old pad, once all of its cracks and
lumps have been smoothed down.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

it depends on how easily you can get the old one off, and
