BUSTED DODGE RAM DASH FIX!! A BUNCH OF TRUCK GOODIES FOR THE FARM TRUCK!!...
What happens here
Before applying the new DASHskin, thoroughly clean the entire surface of the existing dashboard. Use a cleaner (not explicitly shown but implied as part of preparation) to remove dust, dirt, and any existing adhesive residue. Once clean, apply a thin bead of 'TITE SEAL Clear Silicone RTV Gasket Maker' around the perimeter of the dashboard where the new skin will sit, paying extra attention to the edges and any areas where the dash is particularly cracked or uneven. Also apply adhesive around the air vents to ensure a secure fit.
Goal: Ensure a clean, even surface for the new dash skin and apply adhesive for secure installation.
