• recreate factory mounting points without the need for modifications,
• maintain the correct connection line between the dashboard and the central tunnel,
• preserve compatibility with stock screws and clips,
• reduce installation time thanks to predictable fitment.

This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs, replacing a damaged console, or restoring the interior to a factory-like condition without compromising on fitment and rigidity.
