Hey it's only $13 with shipping...if the 914 piece doesn't work? Toss it, or give it to a struggling young "teener". No big gamble, is it?

[boxster03]

certainly not the $ just wondering if the material is wide enough to do the 911 dash, says 5" and my car is in the shop so I can't measure it.

Is 5" wide enough? can someone pls measure your dash basketweave

Thanks

The dash strip is about 2.5 inches in width.

Hmmmm...just rolled my 71 into the showroom for the winter and was just looking at that. Unfortunately, my car was sodomized by the P.O. so I can't say with any authority if the basket weave in my dash is correct or not. It does look different from that second picture of the S glove door. Ya truly can't go wrong with $10 though...I spend more in that in gas driving to the nearest 94 octane gas station...lmao.

Hello ,
Here in my area I can't find this material, but I find a old door panel in the same material and i used it for recover my dash section and my radio delete plate.

He had a roll specifically for the 911 that is 2 5/8 wide which sounds right. Mine is definitely looking a little ratty so figured for $13 I'd give it a shot.

So now whats the trick to getting the old stuff of?

I'm wondering if a hair dryer would soften up the glue enough to lift it...dunno for sure.

ok we got the width now how about the length? Where are the cuts? obviously at the glove box but anywhere else? how do u get around the wheel? pull it?

thanks
