Trashed dash
I've read the threads and seen what some of you have done, and they look great. But, what if your dash is total trash? Living in Arizona my dash is cracked all over and what isn't cracked is real brittle and cracks to the touch. I've looked all over the internet for a replacement, and the only jy in this town. So, has anyone repaired one this bad? How did you do it? Have looked at the dash toppers but not sure how they look in real life.

I've seen some covers in the JY and thought they looked pretty good, in fact it was really
hard to tell they were covers without looking closely.

Thanks for the reply. That's kind of what I wanted to know.I've seen them for sell but never seen one installed.

If it is that brittle, there is little you can do about the cracks so a cover is a very good option since you can't find any in your local JY's.

It's that brittle. I have one of those carpet type dash covers on it now. If you take the cover off it will crack anywhere you press on it.

I have seen them in LMC just don't know what they really look like installed, but looks like that's going to be my only option.

The other thing you might be able to do is check ebay or see if someone here has one for sale that they might be able to ship for you.
