I have been using the same pattern for years I got back in the seventies. Dodge windshields have never changed and my console just slides into my windshield gasket and makes a real finished look. I just pull down the gasket and slide the console in and let it lap right up and done I put a screw right in the top center and the gasket covers it. really clean look. An OLD vanner gave me that trick back in 1975. He must have been 26 or 27 , I was only 23...lol


Cheers!

Black will be replaced
I know you can't tell what the ceiling is. I'm going 70s with a burlap ceiling.
