Looks like you have a leather interior? You'll need a water-based color, along with an adhesion promoter, and slip agent for the leather, and a solvent base for everything else. You'll have your work cut out for you for sure! Good Luck
I had the same issue on a 66-300, don't know who I got it from years ago? It took a couple years for it to get smashed down so you don't have to slam the lid. Look at the bright side, at least you now know its fully sealed when closed!
Spray bomb them with either oven cleaner or an engine degreaser, let that stuff do it's job then spray bomb them with a pressure washer, repeat as necessary! Good Luck
If you fold leather, it will leave a crease like a piece of paper. Doing the same with vinyl won't leave a crease!

The only dash cover I've ever had was a Dashmat on my 84 Mazda P/U back in the day, I had it on the truck for about 14 years before the truck died. The mat was still in great shape when I traded it in. I have no complains.
I should say that at the time I did mine, I was playing around with horology things so for me this was unchartered waters with clocks. I did file mine like you but that lasted about 6 months before it died again. I may have borked something at the time, I'll never know, to many moons ago? Good Luck
