69 Chevelle repop dash pad

[sixt9rsx33]

The dash pad that I used in my 69 Chevelle is so bad that the garnish moldings won't fit. This makes me sick because when I was taking the car apart I recall how well all of that fit. The dash pad was dead though. It had more cracks in it than old asphalt. Should had sent it to Just Dashes. Anyway, any ideas on how to correct this? The problem is that the garnish moldings won't fit low enough for the screws to properly screw in. Was thinking maybe I should use aftermarket garnish moldings? The dash was bought at NPD.

Thanks

You can still find good used ‘69 dash pads if you look around. The repop is crap, as you’ve suggested.

Shocking how shitty this dash pad is. I bought the "best" reproduction per NPD. I don't have a lot of experience with repop parts and man I don't want to deal with them again.
Thanks
