Jon, I did the same to the dash and have never glued it on. The vents
come off easily once you work out that the posts for the tonneau cover
at the end are in fact bolts, and the nuts and washers are below.
Dropping the centre panel gives some access especially to the passenger
side, but expect to curse a few times when you do the ones behind the
instruments. Also don't forget to remove the bezel holding in the
ashtray. That and the vent hold the overlay nicely in place. A friend
has an MGB and the overlay on that is nothing like as good as the
Spitfire one which pretty well make it look as new. You may want to
clean and paint the vent covers and ashtray while they are off.
