[W126 Coupe] Permanently Attaching Replacement Wood to Dash

[Mark Clemence]

Hello Dick, I have a similar situation.  The trim on
the dash is fine, but the "side piece" (along the
driver's side of the dash) has also warped a bit so
it's not only separated but also needs to be
straightened.  Any advice on this situation would be
appreciated.  Mark
