It sold reasonably. I should of asked the question earlier. > > 3- The originals for other years won't work as well. > > 4- I would also be somewhat concerned about what had molded after 30 years. I would think that any replacement of the dash pad should be done with the room or ambient temperature up pretty high, and with the new pad and car sitting in this enviornment for sometime. > > Is this pretty accurate? > This is all pretty accurate, I haven't replaced my Squarebacks dash pad yet, but have heard positive and negative experiences about installing the after market dash pads. Since there is undoubtedly more than one manufacturer, we should probably be asking some different questions.
