Dash Pad

[getchasum]

Never really looked into it but can the soft outter section of the dash pad be changed with out pulling the whole dash?

Scott, Not That I Know Of. I Do Know You Can Change The Soft Surround Around The Guages(separate Piece) But The Rest Of The Dash(excluding The Upper Speaker -vent Cover) Is All One Piece.

Hey Asto-T,
I have this split in mine. How'd you fix it? I was looking at getting mine recovered, but if I could repair it, that would be much better.

Thanks, Rob

I used carpenters glue with some painters tape. First tape the seam between pad and upper dash.Second get something heavy to put on the dash to close up gap. third get some wet paper towels to clean up glue.Fourth fill tear up with glue.This may take 3 or4 times over couple of days .Fifth when the dash stops sucking the glue up, take some grey interior paint and tint the glue that fills the gap. Then clean up the glue, it almost becomes invisible. Make sure you clean up glue after you fill each time or it will dry up in the fake stitching.

sounds like a pain in the ass to do.

I did`nt think it was hard at all.I was looking for a way to fix it easily and have it be invisible. I think changing the dash would be a pain.
