Guys,
I can not remember how the clips on the front of the dash pad works. I have searched the threads here but still have not found the answer. Can anyone help? Maybe a picture? Many thanks.

I don't recall any clips associated with my BJ7 dashpad. It's been many years since it was removed but I believe the cover is wrapped over the foam padding, glued or stapled to the underside of the wood frame and secured to the body with screws on both sides of the pad.
 
Because the larger dash pad on the converts extends more into the cockpit than the roadsters, additional anchoring is by a small tab at each corner, I believe screwed to the wood, and then bent back under the shroud after the pad is in place. It keeps it from lifting at the corners.
