Dash Fitment

Does the front of the dash yuck up under the front of the spider? I'm having a hell of a time getting my dash to fit. It's pushed in as far as it can go and I still have a 3" gap to the windshield.

Not sure about the RCR, but I shimmed up the front of my spyder a little and my dash (leather covered, so thicker than usual) fit fine.

Bill,

I had to push up in the middle of my dash to get it to fit properly. The dash in an RF is fiberglass and mine had been sitting for years out of the car. I think over time it deflected. Due to sagging in the middle it spread the "legs" of the dash out and would not allow the right door to close. This was simply fixed by pushing the center of the dash back into place and drilling some holes in the sheet metal and screwing the legs into place. One thing I learned during my build is not to be bashful about pushing and shoving the fiberglass parts to make them fit.

Hope this helps.
