(figured a bit of extra glue wouldn't hurt in this situation) The new trim had a backing that is supposed to be removed before installation and then simply lay it onto the dash. Now with that being said the thing i highly recommend its putting some kind of weights down on the new dash bezel trim especially in the 2 folds of the dash just to ensure good adhesion...or else the trim piece will keep popping off in stressed areas.
i think i am going to invest in it. it is something i need to do. thanks for the info. very informative. just one question, did the brushed aluminum trim look very nice like you would see on the nos ones or did it look cheesy like most aftermarket items out there. i must admit i am very nitpicky when it comes to fixing up my truck. lol
