Hi Derek,
Its been a while but here is how I would do it:
1. Lay pad down and trim the edges. The edges by the door opening
are a challenge. IIRC you need to get it so the clip on furflex(?) will
still pinch the pad down.
2. With a small drill, drill through the tonnoue pin holes such that you can
push a small pin or nail up through the bottom.
3. With a paint brush, coat the dash top and the bottom of the pad
with contact cement.
4. Lay down a layer of wax-paper over the dash and its dried contact
cement.
5. Lay pad down and carefully align it into position. A helper will help
here because you want to keep it in position as you slide out the wax
paper (you probably should use several separate pieces). You get
ONE chance because when the two sides contact, they are stuck
for life.
6. Poke the pins up from the bottom to locate the holes, reinstall the
tonnue pins, the defroster slot grills, etc.
7. Now glue the bottom edge that wraps under.
8. Install the aluminum and cardboard pieces underneath with pop
rivets.
Good luck,
Gary

Subject: [Tigers] Instructions to fit crash pad
I am in the process of trying to fit a new crash pad. I have received a set
of written instructions, but would like a set of instructions including
tips, pitfalls, etc from someone who has done the job themselves. Can
anyone please help me?
Thanks
