I know several years ago people where replacing their cracked dashpad by retrofiting the Dashskins cover to be an actual replacement.

Has anyone tried this one: https://legacyautoaccessories.com/pr...er-dash-cover?

The description says it is an actual replacement and not just a cover.

The most recent review is concerning and the website is pretty simple. We all have become accustomed to logistic delays in parts but the lack of communicating with customers is troublesome. Hopefully this is legit and an option for dash pad replacements.

Yeah the website is not much...that's why I was looking for anyone with experience.
It seems logical someone in the aftermarket would be making the dashpads since they all crack.

These are still available from GM, the part number is 10422746 for the '97-'99 "Dark Gray" (RPO 14I) version. I don't have the part number handy for the 2000-'02 "Ebony" (RPO 19I) version but I imagine it, too, is still in production based on the older one still being available. Price is ~$460 + shipping (of course shipping is insane) from GMPD.

Obviously this aftermarket one is much cheaper, but the market might be limited if getting the price down to this point requires some sort of cut in quality vs the OEM version. The initial reviews sounded great but they are too new to speak to longevity/durability of the item, and that last one is definitely concerning. If you end up having to buy it multiple times due to shipping damage (or even warranty claims, as this item seems recent so there's no reference for longevity) with zero customer service (like that last review), then you might end up spending nearly as much as just getting an OEM one.

Just worries me a bit that the contact method is so limited with this company.

I’d file a chargeback so fast their heads would spin. Consumer protections for internet transactions are generally pretty stout among all major financial firm, so the money loss wouldn’t be a concern for me personally. But you did raise my actual concern, which is the quality itself. I’m in the market for a new dash pad. Actually just ordered a new GM front bumper cover from GMPartsNow that’s currrntly in transit and was looking at purchasing a new dash pad in the near future. I’m almost tempted to order this and see. Worst case, it sucks and I return. I would like pictures of the underside though because I refuse to glue the dash and would want to retrofit the previous foam padding and tabs to the new piece. If I can’t do that, then it’s not a true replacement and not worth the savings.

It says it installs with glue. I can't imagine it being much different than a cover

Edit: Totally didn't notice the mention of Dashskin in the OP's post. Oops.

I bought something similar for my Formula, and installed it with really strong adhesive. My factory dash had shattered, so I shored up what I could with epoxy and pieces of ABS plastic and glued the pad over the top. It doesn't look perfect, but it looks way better than the broken dash did! Unfortunately, I won't know how well it holds up as my car is going to be sitting until I finish the engine build and everything else it needs. However, it's been in a non-climate controlled garage since last winter and it still looks as good as when I installed it. One of these:

Do you have a picture? My dash was perfect until last week when I decided to wash the car and armor all the dash and it cracked. I don’t really want to spend $700 on a GM one so I was going with the Amazon one. Just curious to see how good/bad it is before I order one. You can text me the picture f it’s easier. I can dm my number.

Sorry, I missed this. I can text you pics of the dash, for sure.

Could you please post a picture? I've seen some on rock auto's website, but they are cheaply priced so I'm not sure.

Late response.

I have been under the impression for many years GM 10422746 was still available, but in color black.

GM 10422746 Dash Pad Color 1997 - 1999

This was a large factor in me not purchasing a GM replacement for the cracked pad in my "grey" interior 1998 Trans Am.
