tony2657 5 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 I have a 1983 e28 which, until a few years ago, had a perfect crack-free dashboard. It is garaged all the time and when parked outside I always use a sun-shield. It has done no good and the cracks are appearing. Is there anything I can do to repair (fill?) them or prevent them expanding?. I am guessing not. I don't like the idea of a dash cap, but perhaps someone can recommend where I could source a high-quality dash mat? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliongater 718 Report post Posted March 11, 2017 Part out. More seriously, I'm fairly certain they all crack so replacing it with a 2nd hand one won't be that viable. You could drill and fill the cracks, can look good if done well. Though my favourite option would be leather wrapping the dash, I haven't investigated this option in NZ yet though. Have you got any pictures of your car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
