how do you fix a cracked dash?
weve all seen it on older cars.
The sun just beats it until it cracks now it looks like ass. INstedd of replacing the whole dash is there anyway that the cracks can be filled?
and dont even suggest a carpeted dash cover. those things are soo getto.

Re: how do you fix a cracked dash?
anything you do to try and repair it will look like shit. About the only thing you can really do is replace the dash pad. Shouldn't be that exspensive.

take the dashpad and have it redone. whats so hard about that? 
and by redone, i mean revinyl'd, with vac bags and shits. there are a few places that do it, i dont know about locally though.
