Burlwood metal Dash

This question has probably been asked before.. what do we use to stick on the back of the dash insert panel to make it stick to the dash?

[Sam (Bones)]

you could try RTV silicon

I have small screws in mine

It had metal tabs that went through and bent over behind from what I remember, I am pretty sure I used a few pieces of good double sided tape like what we use to reinstall moldings on a car also

I see the metal tabs next to the heater controls. I have some 3M tape. Will have to wait for warmer weather for that one.

I used the window tar, the stuff your not supposed to use on the front and rear windshield.

Ditto , what Jared said , 3M caulk strips , seen this from the factory , in late 72 they eliminated the holes added a couple more tabs around the column and 3m style caulk strips , remember you may want to remove this again someday so do not use a glue or strong adhesive you may not get it back off

 

side note i have seen early 70 models with a dash insert that has about 1/8 missing from the top and no screw holes at the top

Yep, that's what came on my October '69-built SS from Van Nuys.  I thought some "idiot" former owner had cut the entire top lip off for some unknown reason so I replaced it with a complete unit.  I kept the "weird" one but it looks so bad (see gap all across the top edge in photo below) once you notice it that I would never install it again.

Yep the top on some of them are missing.
