Fortunately for you, Ford used better glue on the 98.5 so you don't need to worry. It was the 99 and 00 that had the dash glue come undone allowing the dash to peel back from the defrost vents.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Uh, oh. (Runs out to look under the recently installed dash cover) 
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Any suggesstions?
thanks,

I think I have the worst dash warp ever, my dash actually touches the windshield, does anyone else have it this bad too? I am not putting out the money to fix it, the contour is not worth enough to justify the investment.
