Hmm, poking around the dash yesterday, it appears the "donut" is glued to the metal panel
that the instruments are mounted to. Meaning, you have to detach all the instruments
and remove the whole panel in order to re-skin the donut part.
Does that sound right, or is there some trick to removing the donut separately?
thanks,
Karen

>> Do not peal off the original pad on the pass side, I know the middle edge has lifted but you can screw it back down and fill it smooth.? Using a felt backed vinyl, I use "pleather" you can stretch it over the pad, tuck it and make over a pretty good looking dash.? The hard parts get vinyl dye with the padded parts getting a vinyl wrap.? The dash :donut" also gets wrapped.? I also dye the forward side panels on the driver & pass side.
