I agree with Mark. I bought a hard dash cap for my GTV-6 and was simply 
not able to get it to fit (finally sold it at a swap-meet). I bought 
the carpet style from IAP and it works very well. It has one very nice 
feature that even the original GTV-6 dash lacked - it is totally 
non-reflective. The flat carpet-like nap is very dull and one simply 
does not see it in the sharply raked GTV-6 windshield. Even if my dash 
weren't badly cracked, I'd still utilize one of these carpeted dash 
covers for it's anti-reflective as well as it's dash protective 
qualities. I highly recommend  it.
