cracking interior plastic
I have a 79 f-250 with the woodgrain instrument panel trim. It's cracked with a small hole where it screws into the dashboard, also the faceplate to the 8 trac tape player is broke. i was wondering is there some kind of expoxy i could use to repair it?

well i had that problem with mine so i just removed it, layed it on its face, and used superglue from the rear side in the cracks holding the two sides against each other to close the gap. it isnt that visible from 4 inches away and appears perfect from any other distance, and all it cost me was $1.50 at most and about an hour to take my time and do it right. my trim has the white trim rings around every thing so when i was finished i used a white paint marker and went over the old paint and now it looks like new...the wood grain is hard to find around here so i would just try to repair it unless you have a spare, but it is a some what easy fix.....same with the 8 trac faceplate if you have all the pieces....thats the beauty of working with plastic sometimes..lol

thank you for letting me know. On the instrument panel the screw holes on the right side are completely broken out. i'm wondering if i can glue something on the back side of the panel, that it might be okay. The repair would not be noticable unless it was removed. May i ask your opinon, about it? Do you think it might work?
