I attached some " Pre-Taped Masking Film " to the dash board and forward area of the dash. This tape has a plastic film pre attached to the tape. The plastic film I have folds out 600 mm which will protect everything from SikaFlex. The Pre-Tape comes in 600 /1200 /1800 /2700 mm drops, should work very well. We are off to Canberra tomorrow for MMC's ( grandson ) third birthday.
