Dashmat installation - Diesel Forum

Purchased a dashmat and they included 3 small strips of sticky velcro(which is not nearly enough) . To lay the mat down smoothly over the defroster vents, all the compound curves and have the well areas set flat, purchase a roll of the sticky velcro (mine was about $7 at a fabric store) and use plenty of it to make that mat behave and lay down with no bumps or raised area.

Where did you get the dash mat (in parchment)? Cost too, please.

Got the dashmat @ "Kragen" auto supply which is a mid-sized auto supply store in the SF Bay area (like a pep boys or Grand auto), cost $30 and took about a week to get. I got the mat in "taupe" and if I had to do it again I would get a darker brown. They let you take the "sample" mats out to the "X" and check put what color you like.
