Re: Interference of R/H turn signal light socket with A/C duct

I noticed the "dimple" but it's on the wrong side of the vent base. Looking at my photos and your photo, the dimple is towards the L/H side whereas the socket is towards the R/H side. When I cut the holes in the top of the dash, I used the templates from the Packard drawing with the instructions on how to retrofit the car posted on this site. The vent base lays very well in the top curve of the dash. Maybe when Just Dashes redid the top pad the foam pad wasn't thick enough. I have no idea how thick the original factory pad was as the previous owner had some outfit do a real sloppy job of installing new foam on the dash top. But then again, the Clipper's didn't have padded dashes???
