the BEST thing about the Factory Five 818 is the FORUM. You are absolutely correct, I did not realize it went on the top of the frame. I removed the supports took off the Velcro and it lays perfectly. Thanks so much for the catch, it looks 100% better. The Velcro tape residue is easily removed and the holes in the dash will be used for the supplied aluminum brackets that fit remarkably well NOW. Great CATCH NBinSD, eternally grateful.
