I am fitting the dash cards to my Mk 3 car.  Very awkward business, particularly with regard to mating the dash cards to the vent bezels.  Can someone please advise how to accomplish this task?

Thanks.

For a start I'm pretty sure that's upside down as it was when I fitted mine 🙈 so make sure you check this first
Also you need to bend /bow it to get it in

The image is from minispares, so I suspect it is shown in the correct orientation.  I have started fitting the cards as shown, and they seem to fit in this orientation.

The photo is correct way
It has the 2 tabs on top which bend out towards you when fitted .The gap between is where the ash tray fits.
Need to fit top under then bend and push bottom in

NZMini, you are spot on.  Top in first, and push in bottom worked a treat.  Thanks for your assistance.
