Dash cracked. Any suggestions?
 

So I did a search and didn't find anything. What are people doing for this?
I have a 98 Camaro that has the plastic all in the front cracked. More than one crack so I can't "fix" it.
What are people doing now a days for this? I went to a local pull a part and it was already gone + I wouldn't have known how to get it out anyway.

Thanks,
Cory

Just keep checking junkyards. I've never heard of any other solution, although I would imagine you could go to a shop that does custom interiors and they could make something for you.

Aftermarket replacements (full replacement or molded caps) are available, but they aren't cheap:

I did a quick Google search and it turned up a few used units.

Get a carpet cover from e-bay.I did this.Looks great.$40.00 or so.:)

Yeah I agree with this. My dash is cracked pretty bad and has a black mat over it and looks just fine. Even if I get a new dash or dash cap later on, I'm definitely going to put the mat back over it.

I've seen someone glue the original back together, reinforcing it from the back. Then cover the top with a gray (or interior matching) leatherette material. Looked pretty good.

Might find the thread somewhere in this forum.

I think I read something on TECH about a dash pad on ebay.

I just installed this dash cover on my 98 TA. Looks good to me, almost perfect appearance. It came only in black, so I painted it with vinyl paint to match my interior. Total cost for pad, vinyl cleaner, vinyl prep, and paint was about $200. Installation was very easy. I glued it only at 4 places at the edge away from the windshield. Paint wasn't perfect, so I removed the cover with a putty knife to repaint it, not too difficult.

Edit: Changed "it" to "cover" to not indicate I was removing paint... ;-)
