Dash pad crack repair - 02/23/09 01:09 AM

Has anyone had success repairing a crack in their pad. Mine is very nice except for one crack in the middle, I would like to use it instead of a repop if I can repair it, Any suggestions.

Thanks

I had a professional repair my A-body pad. It had the usual characteristic cracks on the ends (very minor). He warned me that repairing the old stuff is only temporary and I'll be chasing my tail. I had him do it anyway.

About 1 year later, turned out he was right. Even though the car only saw limited sunlight during that time, they came back, as well as a new horseshoe shaped one. I just picked up an NOS pad from the bag. Should've done that the first time.

I used a product made by permatex called leather and vinyl repair they carry it at any local advance auto or autozone, instructions are pretty straight forward, I did a pretty messed up chllenger dash pad , I like how it came out but I'm not to picky

Thanks john,
I'll give it a try. If I don't like it I can still go with the repop.

I had the same issue on my '69, I opted to send it out to Just Dashes, and was completely satisfied with the results.
