I hold my top plate down with velcro.
Makes it a breeze to change the shift indicator
bulb. My ash tray is never used so I used duct tape to hold
everything together underneath....it worked:D
Here's what I used. It worked great for me.

Here's mine after using the dimensions
My headliner guy would do the headliner for $350.00 or less.
The $1500.00 quote may not be too far off. If you were close
I would cover your seats for free.
