Installing a LMC pad and it’s sitting up to high on the passenger side .After hours of trying to figure out what the issue is I found that the second to last clip area is sitting up a 1/4 inch higher then the one to the left and the far right corner. This also wouldn’t allow the dash to go all the back against the windshield rubber. I’ve contacted LMC awaiting a response on getting a replacement

The quality on these dash pads seem to be all over the place. It took me 3 hours to get mine to fit correctly, I cut and bent **** to get that far. One thing I found out is that if you installed new speakers when the pad was off, the new ones do not sit flat in the brackets.

I contacted LMC about an issue with my headliner. It took them over a month to get back with me and then another several weeks after that to get the correct reply.
They wouldn’t let me talk to any of the techs directly. I had to explain my issue to a lady on the phone, she emails the tech people, then a month later she called back. Of course she hadn’t worded the original question to them correctly so the answer I got was not what I needed. After the second tI’ve back and forth they agreed to send me a new one. Hopefully you get a quicker response from them. I wasn’t sitting around waiting for the answer so it wasn’t a huge deal to me.

You may have already done this, but here is a video that might help. I know they make it look easy and is the perfect install. My dash pad I needed to trim on the passenger pillar side to get it to push back into place correctly.
