Hey guys! I want to cover my dash in tweed soon and was wondering if anyone had any tips or pictures on how they did theirs. Any ideas are wanted and appreciated!

i just finished doing my 2nd dash, and here what i've learned so far

before you begin, is u want your 2 little defrost vents on each side of the dahs to go in right again make sure all the glue is out of the slots they slide into!!!!!

1. make sure u leave lots of extra material around the edges when first starting to glue it down

2. use spray glue for the main part and contact cement along the edges

3. start by glueing in the middle of the dash cover (just left of where the air bag sits)

4. once the middle section it glue then trim your edges to about 2" EXCEPT for by the far left (the driver side of the dash ) leave lots of extra there .....

5. glue the rest of the right side over the air bag whole and vent holes

6. glue the far left side

7. glue the edges and then trim em down

Don't put glue over your airbag cover...

Remove the cover- wrap it seperately and reinstall it.

i've done mine 2 times, and am about to do my third. here is my first one. i used a material called Monks Robe. kind of a carbon fiber look, but it faded really quick, so i went to blue tweed on the second one
