I just put one on last year, you will have to fill the cracks on your
original dash with RTV silicon (came with my overlay). You are correct
that you have to remove the ashtray, vents and tonneau pins. Infact
you will find that you will not need to use the RTV silicon to glue it
because the vent and tonneau pins does a very good job holding it down.
That what I have done with my overlay and it has been a year and friends
don't even notice that it's a plastic overlay untill I tell them.
PS:You should consider giving the vents, pins and ashtray a new coat of
matt black paint while they are off the car.
