Guest Zwilling Report post Posted May 11, 2004 I got a crack in me vinyl right where the dashboard recesses over the glovebox. Anyone know a decent vinyl repairer (Welly), last guy I went to hashed it and it cracked again after 18 months!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted May 11, 2004 Old dash out, ner dash in. Dave has done his, i believe, either that, or we set fire to his dash for no reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zwilling Report post Posted May 11, 2004 What, replace the whole dash? What's the cost??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted May 11, 2004 Its just time consuming, and getting all the electrics back in. It would be easier still in a vert! Not sure on cost, get a good one off a wreck? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speakeasy 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2004 ive seen a few sweet dashes in my days of sifting round stripped bmws, so that shouldnt be a problem. and if your made of money having someone put it in isnt a problem. but if its DIY, sucks to be you. i struggle to think of more frustrating jobs than fiddling with electrics in the dash... then again i dont have a whole lot of patience... that could explain why i havent put my glove box back in since august......
