I agree 100% with Aaron. The only other thing I'd add is that the demister
vents also help to hold it all in place. Mine's going on almost 9 years now
and it still looks as look as the day I installed it.

Hi Jim,
When I replaced mine I did it without any adhesive. Looking at the
installation I cant see how it could possible go anywhere considering it is
held down by the metal dash, the windshield frame, the three bolts at the
bottom of the windshield frame and the ashtray. I can see no evidence of any
movement of the pad. When fellow lister Rick Patton replaced his, he decided
on a little adhesive at the front of the pad. I anticipate doing a frame off
resto sometime in the not too distant future so I wanted to be able to get
the pad off without ruining it.

The top crash pad I took off my '74 TR6, which could have been the
original, wasn't attached with glue but the repair manual says to use glue
when attaching. Does anyone have any thoughts as to which way to go with
this? Thanks, Jim
