Does anyone have a photo of their glove box door opening after trimming the plastic dash? Just want to make sure I trim it correctly.

Just looking for photos of the trimmed glove box door opening for any year that has the fake wood plastic. Mine is a 69

This is the glovebox in my '67. I used a heat gun to soften the plastic while forming it over & around the edges of the opening. Wear thick gloves and be careful with the heat...too much will ruin the plastic. Best to practice on a scrap piece first to see just how much heat is needed to soften the material without melting it.
