Lmackattack Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 the dash in my RS is a little worn out. Sun has beaten the padding to the point that it has cracked on the back side near the windshields.. What im wondering is if I can recover this dash with a new vinal pad pulled over it. or does the whole dash need to be removed? I have the windshields out so now is the time to fix it if its not to much of a Pain....

I also fibreglassed and bondo the holes on the top and removed ash tray etc.pics in my gallery.Grant Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15117-dash-board-repair/#findComment-60935 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lmackattack Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 looks like a nice project there. dash looks great. I use the ash tray for change thats it would have been better if it was a cup holder. that and I dont smoke. Is the vinal tucked under the back side of the dash. It looks like it just stops where it meets the defroster holes near the windshield. If that is the case Im wondering if I can just full the current trears inthe stock dash and then have someone recover the dash with new vinal glued over the old vinal. what do ya think????Trent Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15117-dash-board-repair/#findComment-61024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducky698 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Hi, it goes around the back, it wont peel off in the heat that way. its not a bad finish, slightly soft.Grant Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15117-dash-board-repair/#findComment-61040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
