Not sure where to ask about this, and since i noticed the problem while detailing my car i figured i try here first. My upper dash (the part between the windshield and the gauge cluster) is cracking. I dont want to use a carpeted dash mat and i really dont want to have to pull off the entire dash to fix it. I remember somewhere , long ago, seeing a "cap" that someone makes that covers the whole upper das area and has provisions for the defrost vent. It was like black ABS plastic and i guess it glued or taped on. I read that it showed some lines around the edges, but i would be OK with this if it covered the crack. Am i making all this up or is there such a product?

you can buy a replacement. never heard of a cap or anything though.

there are caps on ebay but i would just replace it, a cap would just cover the problem instead of fixing it

That's probably the best thing you can do. I swear it was posted on here too, but now I can't find it.

thats looks really good! i'd have to make sure it matches perfectly though before doing it though.

Yup. That's the problem I'm having too. I don't want to wrap the entire dash, so I need the vinyl to match damn near perfect.

i had a brand new oem one shipped to my door for 140 bucks...took me maybe 30min to pop the old one out and snap the new one in..now its like it never happened..sun must make that plastic brittle i guess,,i came out one cold morning and noticed a 6in crack and when i went to remove it it cracked up like peanut brittle,,,i will caution you that brittle plastic is very sharp when it cracks,,dont ask me how i know;)
