It can hold moisture up against the sheet metal and promote rust.

I'm guessing window electric switches installed in the center of the dashboard. Definitely what I'll be doing when I install ABS panels.

I just got my panels and foam tape. Does the tape go on over the mounting holes - that's how GW shows it.
