I've replace the trim multiple times and it's a PIA. Usually has a rubber hose or tubing or foam to pad the sharp front edge covered with matching vinyl backed with thin foam rubber. The holes on the dash are from rivets holding a lead 1/2" bar over the trim to the dash on the front. Take excess vinyl up over bar and foam/rubber down over the hose to the back of the dash. Then rivet or screw the back side of dash being careful to not wrinkle as you go. The corners are the most fun! I used aluminum angle or plate to replace the lead. It gives a straighter finish line. I also intially tack the plate with screws on either end then rivet the rest on the front. When drilling holes for rivets or screwing vinyl on the back side of dash be sure to put a stop on drill bits and check your dash thickness especially where wood stops unless you are really good at gel coat repairs. Don't ask how I know that. It's especially fun for an old fat guy laying on your back. Allow plenty of time and have plenty of beer. I think it was posted on my 308 thread but not sure. I'll see if I have some photos.
