crap,my dash pad is crooked!wtf!

dash pad leans upward by the drivers side corner,checked everything,seemed ok,then i removed the pad and saw it for myself that it is crooked! the drivers side corner is tilted upward a bit,wtf! i also noticed that i can see the velcro strips at the front of the windshield,cant figure out why it wont go further in the windsheild more snugly,also the dash itself has a z28 emblem(always falling off)the car is an 88 v6 , and a dam hole in the center of the dash unit.

even if the car is being transformed i'd leave the z28 badges off the car since it's not a z28. it will save you alot of flaming

i'm sorry, i meant it to be a lil sarcastic. Anyways to try to help you in your efforts, have you tried to put something like velcro tape on the passenger side to even it out so that it looks even?

You might want to check to see if all your screws are in correctly. I know for me at least.. those back 4 can be little bitches to get in sometimes. I have 1/2 a velcro strip (soft side) on both corners. Probably so the dashpad doesn't vibrate against the windshield.
