The covers WILL fit but it is more than simply slapping them on with a bit of silicone. It takes a bit of time, patience, and determination. I have installed at least 6 in my lifetime and one developed a few bubbles after two years. I contacted the manufacturer, asking if moderate heat (flatiron and damp cloth) would do the job. The manufacturer wrote back: "Our product should not fail in this manner. We are sending you a replacement at no cost". Kudos to them.

The original dash is terrible (can't comment on the 85+; never worked on one)....compressed cardboard and about .05 mil leatherette covering. But, I must constantly remind myself:

"Excellence was expected" (but sometimes not realized)
