hey guys i started removing my dash tonight but i cracked the dash pad. do you guys know where i could get a new any sponsors? and how much? thanks guys

 

just hit a junk yard man. you should find those things everywhere

 

The odds of finding an un-cracked dash pad (called a crash pad I think) in a junkyard is SLIM.

 

i guess that is my answer to everything, isn't it?

lol

 

i've been looking for one here because mine was pulled, but not cracked, untill my buddy put his weight on it and broke it in like 7 pieces. No junk yards around here have any. They send all sports cars more up north...it sucks

 

i guess ill check it out im pissed about it i barely touched it and a big piece broke off

 

Don't sweat it man, it was probably brittle with age, it would have cracked eventually. Time for a new one.

 

The dash pads are horrible for cracking and breaking on these cars. If you want a quality one you'll have to either go ebay or a dealer.

 

Well its in many pieces now after 13yrs it cracked every time I tried to take it out

 

i think partsladi has one on ebay, should be like 250ish bucks. only other option is a dealer and they can be like 350. my mechanic broke mine and i needed a new one and my dad got it for me for like 250 - i think thats the net price (not list). since he knows a lot of people in the industry got it cheaper. and yes the dash pads suck and crack at the slightest touch. i mean they been in the sun twelve years or so havent they?


also i am beginning to hate those plastic rivets

I want to say they are $136 at GMpartsdirect. Or you can look on here on tech, someone did a great writeup on repairing cracked dash pads.

 

It may not be the best idea to repair it. Not ******* on people that do, but that's only asking to get a crack in another place, get po'ed about it, and end up spending money again buying a new one.

 

got mine last year from gmpartsdirect for 143 shipped...but for some reason they dont seem to stock them anymore.ive found a few here and there through google shopping

 

I just bought one from gmpartsdirect for my 95 T/A and it's gone up. The price was $180 plus $45 shipping (OUCHHH). You will be hard pressed to find one that is not cracked or doesn't have the clips broken off on the backside. Just bite the bullet and get a new one. If you can't find it on GMPartsdirect, drop them an email with your year, VIN and what you need and they will get you the part # as I looked and it would not come up under my year but they still carried it.

 

man i didnt think this was gonna cost me 200 that sux another unplanned purchese. o well my vent pieces were all broken off and it was cracked in the corner but it sucks i gotta spend the money then go cut it for the cage. beat but thats life right? nothin ever goes smooth.

wat makes me mad was i was cruisin through the dash removal and then that happened and it stopped me completely maybe finish it tonight

 

The dash repair thread. At least give it a look at, one of the steps is to wrap it in vinyl, thread claims its flexible and stands up to the sunlight better. Hell I'm going to try it as my dash is cracked in about 4 pieces, especially now that the price has gone up on a new one. The damn crazy prices on plastic pieces pisses me off!

 

I bought a Carpet that is the same identical size as the Piece that cracks.. mine cracked when I was doing my T56 Swap. I put the Carpet in and it looks flawless. I paid $35 for it from Ebay.

 

yea id do the carpet but carpet has to weigh a few lbs and thats not weight id wanna add ill just bite the bullet

 

Mine has been broke and out for quite awhile and I never bothered to get one, I called the other day to get one and my price has gone from 130 or so to 240 for it. My friend said that gm jacked the prices up on alot of parts. Paying back the feds I guess.
