Dash

Glass so you won't have to worry about scratching that flawless dash.

Dash. The windshield rubber gasket lip actually sets slightly on top of dash.

No rubber overlapping the dash on this one. Also do as much under dash work as possible before fitting it.

The dash must be installed prior to the windshields.
