Thanks for your recommendations, Pete. I, too, was concerned about the need to remove the original dash in the future (I've had to remove the dash on my 1982 300SD three times for Climate Control work).

I do have one concern about the added height of the Velcro. Most Velcro I've used in the past adds about 3/32"-1/8" height. Using Silicone adhesive would allow for a closer fit. I still like the idea of the Velcro, but am concerned how the extra height will affect the dash cap around the vent cutouts.

Thanks.
