Repair cracked dash....lower dash ??? Hey guys.... I picked up a 99 ws6 at the end of last year. Car was in good shape beside the dash and torn drivers seat. This is one of the worst upper dashes I've seen. It's cracked and faded. No big deal after searching I can wrap a nice used on in vinyl or texture when it cracks in future.
As for the lower dash pad. It has a decent size crack that looks like it was continued from the upper piece cracking. I also have a small area by the passenger air bag that looks like it's separating or something.
Any way to fix this crack on the lower dash pad? Do some of those vinyl repair kits actually work well? Any help/advice with this would be great because finding a replacements are usually hard to come by.

Unfortunately, at least from what I've searched, it seems that the only way to fix this is to either replace the whole thing, or wrap it. I can't say I've heard of anyone using vinyl repair kits on our dashes either, but ya never know.
Also, you may have one of the most faded dash pads I've ever seen lol

I used an Eastwood dash repair kit on some very small cracks on mine with decent success, but no way will you be able to repair that crack yourself. The vinyl shrinks from years of sun exposure and makes it super brittle, so it pretty much needs to be re-wrapped.
