How is this for funny? I replaced my 98 TA upper dash pad with a new OEM piece this winter because it spontaneously cracked above a couple mounting posts. Tonight while retrieving my locking lug socket from the glove compartment, I noticed the pad was cracked above at least two mounting posts/tabs again.
I have not even driven it since this pad was installed. Great! I should have applied fiberglass to the back of the pad before installing. Terrific design.

No.

I am not replacing this one until I research this problem further. Did not even get any use out of this one before it cracked. Ridiculous.

Where did you get your new piece if you don't mind me asking?

Mine cracked today

Mine cracked. I had a bodyshop repair the crack, sand the whole thing smooth, and paint/clear it with an automotive finish. 2 days in the sun and the paint spider cracked everywhere from the heat coming through the windshield.
F*ck.

Does anyone make a dashmat thats really thin? I hate dashmats, but could maybe stand one if it was not bulky and was smooth looking.

So are these the same for camaros and firebirds? How does it come out?

I just ordered mine on a certain auctioning website im sure we are all familiar with...

It was $160 and im putting it in very soon. My dash cracked after I installed a performance meter. The performance meter came with a permanent mount that you can fasten to your dash....well...as you can imagine...1 day after I installed it...I had a huge crack the whole length of the dash!

So when I install the new dashpad...im going to keep my car protected from the sun...but using one of those stupid sunshades we have all come to know.

Pull the A pillar covers out, remove upper dash piece, it's affixed with some velcro.

Alright I just replaced mine this past Sunday and I sure hope lasts a little while but I have heard that it has more to do with the heat from the motor than it does from the sun.

My aunt’s husband was restoring an older car. I am not positive but I think it was a Plymouth GTX. However, he had a guy wrap some well-worn interior pieces in vinyl instead of trying to acquire excellent condition replacements. The pieces looked fantastic, just like new. I have been wondering if this might be used to repair cracked dash pads. I also wonder if it would be helpful to reinforce the underside of the dash pad before installation. Let us put work together to slay this dragon. This is a long-standing problem, and I am certain that LS1Tech has the combined intelligence to develop an acceptable solution. What do you think?
