Sounds like you have it under control. Carry on.

Used these Amazon shipping pouches to cut into squares slightly bigger than the magnet of the center speaker and create a bottom cushion for the speaker and the front of the dash where the two meet as there is no support there.

There is no wobbling or bouncing in the dash now. Layered them up and blue taped them together to wedge in the gaps between the vents and angles of the plastic under the dash. There is a very slight positive pressure on the bottom of the speaker and dash to keep it tight yet still a bit of flex.

The existing dash cracks, clips and clip holes are epoxied. It is not perfect, but it looks a lot better and is tighter.



Speaker installed.



Metal tabs epoxied back in place.


All put back together.

We install a lot of these at the dealership I work at.

Those things are so darn ugly. I'd rather have the cracked dash. I can't see wasting money on that especially if you're doing the work yourself. Just save up a little longer and buy the whole panel and it looks factory again.
