This might not be your only problem. I had the same problem with the custum dash. I had to stretch the fabric to get it to fit. But today I tried fitting the dash into the car with the body on. It was 2 inches to wide. The ends need to be trimmed down an inch on each side. It fit fine with out the body.

Like you I have not found anything in the manual about triming. From the pictures in the manual there dash was trimed more than mine. My guess they did not trim enough off after removing from the fibergalss mold. At least I can trim it down. Better than to small.

This is just one of many things that does fit easily. I have had to cut, bend and trim just about everything.

Good luck.
