Cracked dash question

Has anyone used those dash covers I see out there ? Or any ideas how to repair them ?

There are overlay covers for the dash - but generally they don't look good to most people if your aim is to effect a repair, not simply have a temporary cover. There are ones in carpeting, various fabrics, hard plastic, vinyl or leather. The best solution by far is to recover the dash in either leather to vinyl, or perhaps Alcantara.

You can send your dash away to have it covered (e.g. Paul Champagne or Robert Budd) or you can by a kit to do it yourself (from Budd). The dash removal takes a few hours - you can see some pics in my profile starting about here .

Thanks Martin. I couldn't imagine just adding a cover would do it. If its not going to look good it's not worth doing .so on the list it goes.

I have one paul that I have never really used.
It looks ok but I think its main purpose is to protect the dash from the sun.
I have decided to pay mine forward to a guy thats dash is in really rough shape and could use it.

Mines not to bad it's burgundy in color and I was thinking of changing the dash to black I just wasn't sure how difficult it would be to pull it and replace it

I have one in the garage....if that tells you anything. I just knew I would hate having a cracked dash.....but it did not fit well at all and is....plastic...... So we stopped trying to make it fit and instead, filled the cracks so they would not get worse and I really do not mind them much anymore. I purchased a complete leather interior except for quarter panels (from Robert Bud by way of a 3rd party) and I am just looking for the right place to put it in.

Unless it is falling apart...I am thinking the plastic ones for Coverlay are not really the way to go. But if you want a cheap Blue one... let me know
