replacement vinyl insert on dashboard
I own a 1997 F250 4x4 Diesel truck. I purchased it new. For years I've had the idea that I would be purchasing something newer but with 2 kids in college and a 3rd a year away, I've come to accept the reality that my needs fall lower on the priority scale.
So, I've decided I'm going to start fixing/restoring my truck. All in all I think it's still in pretty decent shape. However, there are a few cracks on the dashboard vinyl insert right above the glove compartment that I'd like to address.
I am incredibly ignorant about what options I have. Am I limited to searching the salvage yards or is there some site where I can order a replacement.
Would appreciate any suggestions or guidance on this issue. Thanks in advance.

junk yards are always a good source. Coverlay makes a plastic cover for the whole dash as well. I found mine in a junk yard and dyed it to match but i kept my old one and am going to recover it myself for a custom look.

The auto parts houses carry a small vinyl repair kit...Never used them, but I've seen them there....I'm assuming it's a clear resin/patch type thing..

Yea I was thinking about trying that but I don't want it to look like heck after I do it but maybe I'll go today and take a look at the kit.

Maybe try it out on another pad or something? Maybe as a practice/test run to see what you think?

Have you thought about a couple drops of Super Glue/Krazy Glue?
It'd accomplish the same means...and you could smear it...and make it invisible...For the most part...
A $2 repair, Vs. $20...

Yea maybe I might try that I mean I just don't want it to get any worse. Because I dont want to put one of those plastic covers over my dash.
