How is this repair holding up? I read the repair procedure on the other board. How did you prep the vinyl to accept the truck bed spray?

The repair holds on well with one exception. Some of the cracks I repaired in the garage and some I did outside in the sun. Those done outside hold well and those done inside are cracking back a bit.
I think that you need to have the dash hot and fully expanded before you start fixing the cracks.
