Unhappy Crack in the Dash...

Well I am pretty pissed, I came outside after school and went to my car to notice a small crack in my dashboard that was not there this morning (damn florida heat). Is there any type of foam compound that I can use to treat it? Or is there any other type of product out there you guys recommend? Advice would be helpful.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Crack in the Dash...

good luck on finding anything.

camaros are notorious for having horrible design in their dashboards....

and, they are not cheap...a new one will cost you between $140 and $170. it is impossible to find a dash in a junkyard due to the fact that they explode in an accident or upon removal for dash clusters.

yeah my dash lost the battle with the sun too, it's cracked, I'll eventually replace it. I suppose the only thing to do is keep the new one treated with something like 303, or Meguiars, something with UV blocker in it.

Are you talking about the vinyl part or the plastic part? Its hard to tell sence you said you want to fix it with foam. Thats why i suggest sun shades. I always put up my sun shade and use protectant products on my dash.
