Like many others, my dash has started sagging with old age over the gauges making them difficult to see. The dash is perfect otherwise as it was recently recovered. Has anyone else fixed this problem without harming the leather(ok, it's vinyl)?
I thought about getting it slightly damp and clamping wood on the top and bottom of it to bring it back. Anyone tried this? |

Mine also is a bit low right over the tach, where you can't see the top of the tach. I was wondering if they were all like that.

Mines like that as well.
Can't think of an easy fix. |

Mine also is a bit low right over the tach, where you can't see the top of the tach. I was wondering if they were all like that. I just figgerd they we're all that way as well. Then I drove Waide's car and realized how nice it was to be able to see the ENTIRE gauge. There is a visable difference in the dash for sure now that I know it shouldn't be that way. |
