Dash install

hangn0ut · Mar 18, 2021

Could use some advice on a dash install. Its my 64 plymouth, 2 door post. I did not take it apart although I don't think that would make a difference. The dash has 2 small endcaps. These attach to the A pillar. I have the dash in. The windshield is out. When and how should the caps go in? How should the dash go in? Which goes first? Or do they all go in at the same time? Looks to be a tight fit. Do the caps butt up to the dash? Or do they fit into or over the dash? Been hung up on this for awhile as I don't want to muck it up! But I need to move forward. Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

You need to install the dash first, then headliner, lastly the glass (makes dash screws immensely easier to install). The "caps" can be installed later, along with the windshield surround trim. If you paint the front side of the dash white it is much easier to see underneath for other work.
