    Mk5 dashboard fitment

    I started working on my dash, and decided to mount it using hook and loop. I fastened three angle brackets to the hoop (left center right) with larger squares of hook and loop, then two smaller patches of it evenly spaced between the brackets. Also used to two dash supports.

    I've only cut one hole so far, for the steering shaft, using the template provided. With the center of the dash even with the hoop at center, the outboard edges of it are above, as seen in the pictures. Now I understand, I really need to put the body on to really figure this out, but until then, am just curious if this is normal or not. I can't see moving the dash lower, without having to elongate the steering shaft hole to the point where the turn signal assembly won't cover the bottom of the hole. At that point I guess I'll have to just start shaving the high points, if needed.

    I'm probably just overthinking this, as usual. Also, has anyone had success with hook and loop ? I didn't want any exposed fasteners. I know I could have epoxied some tabs on the back for fasteners but figured I'd try this.
