IIRC, the lower dash pad goes on first and then the switch panel. i have heard of people using silcone spray, tape and even plastic bags to ease the process of inserting the switch panel back into the lower dash pad. a tight fit!! you will want to put the top dash pad on first. and the last thing is getting the right order of dashframe, glove box liner, and glove box hinge. i seem to remember doing that at least twice.
