I've been researching restoring a cracked dash on YouTube and they seem to use a preponderance of different patching materials.
Bondo Fiberglass resin Sugru (mold-able glue) Crazy Glue Is there a prescribed approach that the general community uses to patch large cracks in the top dash pad? Thanks. George |

I removed my dash, sanded it, then covered it in leather. The cracks weren't that wide, so the leather covered them well. I bought the sewn leather cover from a UK seller on ebay. It was the nicest leather I ever worked with. Any leads on who that seller was? Sounds like a interesting & appealing alternative to the dash toppers. Would also be more affordable than paying a local upholstery shop to develop and sew a custom pattern! Perhaps this:- https://www.ebay.com/c/681062740 |
