I just finished Silicone [ing] my pop up Dash back down

I lifited the Black vent out of the way[just one side]
I used the tips of my fingers [glove on] with Silicone on tips [clear -best GE] and ran on shelf below dash [1" cavity]all around perimiter.4-5 applications

I cleaned up

Pushed black vent back in place [added small daps on black flange]

Then I took books and slid over top as dash pushed down between windshield [like a wedge being pushed in]
I added second layer of books to push down more[encyclopedias] The books are spread 3 wide by two deep[6 books]
Dash went FLAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOW Wait til tomorrow ??????????
{My wife says she saw the windshild lifting out -just kidding]
