I am trying to install replacement lower dash pads to the center console. The original dash pads had plastic anchors that held the screws. Anyone have any idea why the replacements do not? Does the screw just go into the side of the dash pad?

Hi S,
The pads on my 71 have a white nylon strip, right under the vinyl, that's part of the pad that the screws from the center gauge bezel screw into where ever they want. Are you seeing those strips?
Regards,
Alan

No stripe but the screws seem to dig into the plastic so I guess that works too. I wish they could really replicate the pieces better.
