Follow the instruction sheet included with the dash cover for the complete installation procedure. Each step should be followed carefully to ensure the cover properly adheres to the valance panel.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s recommended to stretch the cover over the valance panel by starting at the middle of the cover and working toward the A-pillars. Use a silicone or rubber seam roller (Fig. 11) to smooth out the cover after installation by hand is completed. It is normal to see some slight bumps where the adhesive pads\/Velcro fasteners are located underneath the cover.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20266\" src=\"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/F11-Dash-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" \/><strong>Fig. 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Refer to Bulletin #25-NA-069 for additional information, including part numbers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>&#8211; Thanks to Kurtis Hoezee<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While driving into direct sunlight or under street lights at night, some drivers of 2024-2025 Equinox EV models (Fig. 7) may notice glare from the dash reflected onto the windshield.
