There is a little, tiny "T nut" that attaches to the small cutout on the dogleg. Problem is, most people bust that section when removing the piece. I've passed up many a used piece that was otherwise very nice due to this issue.

....What he said. And yes...the screw goes into the moulding. Kinda bizzare....but it works. I may have some spare T-nuts . I could look if you want...

Mike is the only one doing them that I know of. The face is not nearly as important as the back. You can always polish out the scratches or sand it with 800 and clear over it.
Keep in mind '68 and '69 are different and most people don't know which they have when they advertise them.
The radio bezel is easier as the '69 has writing and the '68 does not.

2nd pic. The small Phillips screws are what holds it to the dash frame. This one is missing the screw up top.

....You can see the little flat-headed T style mounting clip on the lower right of that Sport Satellite insert....I'm sure the left side has one as well.
