That may be the same stuff I bought. Did you plan on putting any type of thin foam underneath of it to make it softer or raise it some? I bought some batting(I think it was) because I couldn't find the foam I was looking for at jo-annes. I ended up doubling it up because it was real thin.
If you plan on tucking it under the windshield seal, you may not have to use glue at all. I didn't glue the dash side of it on the 75(the three pieces will hold it in place just fine), but I did glue the widshield side(I used contact cement). Almost impossible to do with the windshield in the car IMO. Don't glue the middle, at least I didn't. Brently didn't listen to me and he tried , but it messed up and he had to do it over.
Brently has my template, that he was supposed to return months ago. Maybe he can send it to you, and then you can return it to me. The template is just the old dash pad from the 75 that I copied. I laid it out on the material, traced the outside and holes with a pen, then cut it out. Cut it slightly bigger than the pattern. Easier to trim more off once you go to install it.
Actually, now that I think about it, I may have another template. I just bought a guy near me out of his stash of 99 parts. I remember seeing one in one of the boxes today. Filled the C-900 to the roof almost twice. Remarkably, I found room for all the parts in the one barn and the basement.
I pulled the windshield because I had bought a newer style seal for it, so I glued the front edge while I had it out.
