<p>Yeah, same here I was placing an order right at the end of March and then saw that, I think we are going to go with the Lemke kit. </p>

<p>It's been quite a while, but I'm pretty sure the edge trim was from McMaster-Carr. They have <a href="https://www.mcmaster.com/edge-trim" rel="noopener" target="_blank">"hollow foam rubber push-on seals"</a> in a number of sizes for varying thickness of the glareshield's edge and various diameters of the hollow rubber bulb. I was able to find one with a grip width to both grip the glareshield edge and the overlying padded vinyl cover. It's a great safety item, too, as an unprotected edge…</p>

<p>Jared, I have the Zenith upholstery kit side panels you can have if you want to cover shipping from Bangor, ME. I'll never need or use them. I would be surprised and a bit disappointed if Zenith cannot fix you up with a dash cover or at least the material list.</p>

<p>Yeah, we actually have the material to DIY it ourselves and that doesn't necessarily make the interior kit a deal breaker. What kind of rubber trim did you use for the overhang of the dash?</p>

<p>I wouldn't let availability of a glare shield cover affect your choices - it's really simple to DIY on a 750. I just templated the glareshield area and cut out a piece of marine-grade vinyl (UV resistant, obviously!). I initially was going to cover it with a black suede-like material that had a thin foam backing, thinking the flat-black material would cut glare and the foam provide some sound deadening. I then realized, however, the fake suede was a dirt magnet ... any bits of dust,…</p>

I initially was going to cover it with a black suede-like material that had a thin foam backing, thinking the flat-black material would cut glare and the foam provide some sound deadening. I then realized, however, the fake suede was a dirt magnet ... any bits of dust, grass, etc. stuck to it whereas the smoother vinyl material could be just wiped off. So, I went with the marine vinyl but backed it with the previously-purchased padded suede material. This turned out great! Nearly 7 years later and no fading (the plane is hangared, however) and the extra material underneath gives it a luxurious feel like a padded dash in a car. The edges around the windshield base can be simply tucked-in and the edge along the instrument panel overhang can be clipped-in-place by the rubber edge trim. Works great!</p>

<p>(Old picture - the panel and instruments have been modified/changed several times over the years, but it's a good shot of the glareshield and trim.)</p>
