Dashboard cracking

Postby scottja [OP] » May 27 2012, 2:03pm

Well the dash on my 07 has started to crack, and after reading other post's on here I see I'm not the only one with the problem. I would like to know if there is any way to fix it without using a carpet dash cover or replacing the dash.

Dashboard cracking

Postby Machster69 » May 27 2012, 2:20pm

Idk a fix for it but ur definately not the first ti have this happen! Was there any conditions you think created or helped it crack? Parked in sun regularly? Do u think a windshield cover would prevent this? Or do you think its a vibration thing?

It seems a bit early for a dash to crack from the sun, I mean come on its an 07 .You would think a dash should last longer than that. got any pics ? . I think I'll pick up a sun shade.........

Your local auto parts store should carry repair kits.
