Hi Pip
When I replied to your post I could only advise you on the experiences I've had with the cars I made recently.
The latest being a Sunbeam Rapier from Pendle.
On the underside of the car roof were 4 raised points where the screen/side window mould sat perfectly to align with the body.
In order to fit the driver's tray I had to remove a lot of excess material on the screen/side window mould, so much so the screens sat just below the window line for a perfect fit.
Using a small amount of Super Glue on each post the screen mould attached nicely; had I used tape I would have to have double sided it and you would have seen it in the headlining of the car which would necessitate painting it out.
When fitting the driver's tray the underside of the car wasn't very flat, also I had to remove most of the side wall to make it fit correctly.
In the end I glued the driver's tray to the chassis mounting posts and pushed the tray up into position whilst the glue set.
Also, I've never had any fogging due to glue fumes!
All I can say is, use the method you are most comfortable with and the best for the car configuration. Sounds like you have a lot to do so the chances are they won't all be the same.
Cheers
Graham
