Too Far gone

My dash was too far gone to do anything with and i searched jy after jy and scoured Craigslist and came up with zilch.

So i went to Walmart and bought automotive carpet and decided to cover my dash pad with it.

I bought a can of loctite spray glue cleaned the pad very very well, scuffed it up some, started at one end and worked my way across. The was only one seem in the entire dash and thats where the hard curve is on the passenger side, i cut a slit glued a triangle piece in the curve then layed the carpet over. It came out VERY well imho. 15 bucks is ALOT cheaper than a new dash pad. As far as the speaker hole i cut it totally out and im going to put a 6x9 in the hole with a cover. Hope this helps, ill take pics of it come day break and post them

It is fairly hard to capture on camera, but you can get the idea from the following images what I am trying to repair/restore. These panels are not terribly common in junkyards or on eBay. I would like to use them but I am not very happy with my current collection of interior trim:








Sorry for the delay!! We do not currently make a product that is made to fix surface scratches. Our items are really made for preventative maintenance with regard to UV degradation.

Have a great day!
