The console to the tunnel, so pinches it in a touch. I wouldn't bother unless they are loose but always worth checking

Would anyone want the top of the dash to shine? Front face, yes, but top, no. I like mine dark and dull (but spotless of course) to reduce reflections amap. Of course, I may have missed the point (again)

I don't either the reason I bought it for the metro is the dash had long deep scuffs in the plastic and to disguise it I put a shine on the dash. It will never go anywhere near the 75 of course.

A good heads up for those that might be tempted. Worth mentioning just in case any one was daft enough to polish the dash on a 75 or ZT. You would never be able to see out the windscreen for reflections.

Don't do it.

Thank you Ken - In fact I hadn't

The problem with having such a quiet, civilised car is that creaks like this take on a much greater annoyance value ;)
