Well, I got the garage up to sufficient temperature today and I did it; it went on really well and conformed darned near perfectly-I can't find that it is sticking up anywhere beyond the thickness of the silicone itself. A few things I learned:
1. IF you don't think it fits right on a test fit, read 2-8.
2. Tucking the L/R sides in between the pillar parts and dash is very important.
3. You have to start out with a "flat" dash, with no upward cracks; my previous attempt worked well for this.
4. Removing the temp gauge and gauge cluster is CRUCIAL to a good fit.
5. Roughing up the plastic and dash as per the instructions-important.
6. Removing the temp gauge gives access to feeling where the "hole" for the interior temp sensor goes; I put a dab of paint on my finger and located it perfectly.
7. I cut some pieces of wood, and by loosening and tightening the steering wheel made a "clamp" for this area. I also used some 36" outdoor railing turnings, braced between the headrest posts and dash to clamp that way. Turning the seat knob forward gives this pressure.
8. Stuff every item of "junk" t-shirts you can in between the window and the dash/cap, and inbetween the instrument cowl and window.
