I had a 78 years ago I bought to sell and put one in! I sold the car and did not care as long as it made a improvement to the interior! Would I put one in a car I was going to keep! NO WAY!

The dash cap cracked when I put the screws in the side by the door jamb, the wiper switch bezel would not fit at all and had to be glued in place, after I glued the top down it pulled up and warped. It was total junk!

Unless changes have been made there is no way I would use one on a car. If given the chance to do over I would have just bought one of those dash mats to hide the cracked dash pad and moved on. If I was keeping the car I would buy the whole pad.
