I am working hard on my 70 Cyclone. What is the secret to getting the dash ‘pushed in’?
The three clips are in their holes, but I just cant push the dash in the last bit. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Clips pictured👇the long end goes into the small slots under the windshield…correct? I can get the long ends in the slots, but cant push the dash in…🤕 Edited by 72FordGTS - 15-March-2023 at 6:04AM |

Did you have any luck getting the pad installed? There are clips with a shorter tab on one end that may help. Sounds like Ford re-did the clips sometime late 70 to 71. My 69 used the shorter ones. See link below:
