Buy the kit for the now expired recall. Some have done it themselves. Attempting to do it without the kit will most cetainly be much less than satisfactory.

SE dash shouldn't be warping.
You dash should have a moulding all across the bottom of the windshield that looks like this...

The 95-98.5 have the reinforcer on the top of the dash. they didn't put it on the 99-00 and that is what caused the warping becuase there nothing holding it down. They use a black strip that goes on top of the defrost register.

Actually the biggest problem with the 99 models dash was the glue they used.
