Anyone have a idea on how to soften the transition from the leather dash cover to the paint on both ends of the dash? I just have the leather glued to the dash with a straight line cut on the leather. Any trim pieces available?

Eazy peazy....Make 'em! Fold a 1" or 11/2" piece of your dash covering in half, glue back to back , abutt the raw edges to the windshield support and glue in place w finished edge towards center of car. Or roll a piece of your dash covering around some 1/4" round wire[lamp cord works well] and glue to dash top and windshield support post. Regards ,Tom

Red can is OK, but I prefer the Green can (Neoprene based)

Hobby hot glue works very well too and doesn't come "unglued " in hot weather.
