Guy,
It covers just the padded area between the dash and the scuttle, the
top most portion of the dash. (If that is what is called the padded
crash-roll edge). Often this part of the dash is cracked beyond repair
and the lower section (the portion with the gauges) is in good
condition. Using the cover, one does not need to replace the entire
dash assembly.
