follow up from post there must be some sot of bracket to attach to this boss--there is nothing for the side screw to go into and on the trim upper left, there is nothing to screw to

Maybe someone can elaborate on what attaches to this location. It looks like the dashpad's metal frame should attach there and then is covered by the plastic trim piece.

You can see the dashpad's metal frame (with hole) in this video.
Go to 1:44 and again at 1:50.

thanks. clears up the problem---the "new" dash pad, guaranteed to fit does not have the attachments and there is a large gap between dash pad and trim piece

Post a pic of your trim piece. It may be the wrong year for your car.

Who made the dash pad ?

it is factory original that came off the car along with the screws--as car was disassembled all parts were bagged and tagged

Who made the dash pad ?

Classic Industries --or their supplier

Just return it. With a picture.

where did you get your dashed??

 

[challenger6pak]

Take a pic of your trim where it is not fitting the dash. Take a pic from the side. We can figure it out if we can see it.

missing the screw clips and as you can see it is a flawed piece--original trim---sent pic and email to classic ind., yet to hear from them. passenger side is a very good fit. the tim piece is in the correct position
