Dennis,

We just recovered the dash on my TR3 a few weeks ago. It came out just
great. The old covering should just pull off as it was held on with
contact cement originally. However, you may need a little heat, a hair
dryer should do it, or if the sun is out, an hours worth of noon
exposure will do it! We cleaned up the steel dash with acetone or
lacquer thinner, primed it and then we used 3M High Strength 90
spray-on contact cement when we put the new vinyl on. Also reused the
original metal clips to hold the vinyl along the bottom edge of the
dash.

Good luck!
