     Scott,

     Installation is a snap (no pun intended).  the little "nipples" on the
     dashboard have been no problem with the tonneau cover not in use.
     People don't ask me what the "little black circles" on the dash are
     anymore, they ask me what those "funny little buttons" are instead.
     They match the dash, and come with a little tiny wrench that has a
     lever on the back end to pry up the little circles with.  A strong
     word of caution, be VERY careful when handling the wrench near the
     dashboard.  the dash is covered by a very thin black cover stretched
     over the foam that makes up the dash.  it scratches pretty easily, so
     be careful during this procedure.

     Make sure you order the right kit.  Tonneaus are sold separately from
     their installation kits now, and you have to specify whether or not
     you have electric remote mirrors.  The kit comes with a plate that has
     a snap on it for the tonneau.  This plate is installed underneath the
     mirror.  No trouble to install, but they are different sizes depending
     on your mirror.

     good luck!
