72 duster dash question

I got a pad from the dash pad factory and it had the same issue. I wound up running screws through it anyway but I'm not very optimistic that it will hold once the car is bouncing down the road.
Man, what happend to taking them to the upholstery guy up the road for 60.bucks, crusing through the 15 samples of different grains, with all the colors, and getting back a quality product?
