    I don't work at TopSpeed and they were not performing any of the work on the roll cage install of the car. They were allowing me use of their shop space. Its a total case of
    or just someone retarded should not touch things?
    as I couldn't figure out the way for that piece to snap back in.

    The Dashes are 100% good. The piece that was mistaken/misplaced was a plastic 3" wide, 3 feet long piece that snaps down into the dash right under the windshield. It has to be pushed UP and then forward and down for it to snap. I was only trying to push it forward and it wouldn't snap.

    Of course in hindsight I shouldn't have used a car that was sitting at a shop I was borrowing to see how it was installed, but I was frustrated with that little plastic piece not popping back in.

    Like I said, it wasn't a problem with them not snapping in. It was a problem of operator error in the WAY they snapped in.
