The Previous owner of my car installed the dash cap just before he sold it
to me and did a great job. He didn't take the dash out to do it. He made 10
wooden wedges to fit between the windshield and the cap. after gluing the
cap up, he drove the wedges in, holding the edges really well. The wedges
were still in place when I bought her and I took them out a week later.
Four years later, the cap is still on tight.

Hey, you might be able to do this: Remove the rubber defrost ducting,
and feed the bands through the defroster vents. This might do a good job
of holding the middle section of the cap down against the old dash.
