Hey!

I posted a thread a few weeks ago about the new dash I put in. Question being: It's plastic, and I'd like it not to crack.. Other than pre-drilling the screws and screwing it into the fiberglass backing behind it, does anyone have any protips for screwing it in and making sure it doesnt crack in the future? IE, should I drill the hole in the plastic dash slightly bigger than the screw, so the screw is only screwed into the fiberglass? or perhaps some kind of rubber washer in between the screw head and the dash?

That's it.. Drill the hole oversize and use stainless trim washers.
