My dash! My dash! O my God my dash!!!!

[asu325ix]

I know this may have been covered before but I need some advice. I just came back from a vacation on the west coast and when I took my car for a spin I happen to notice a crack in the dash. What can I do to prevent the crack from getting worse? I'm hoping for a magic elixir or spell that can ward off the crack demons and maybe excorcise them from my dash!!!👿👿👿 Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Stop drill it and pray.

Swap dash, or like first poster said, drill a hole at ends of the crack, put a v cut in the crack, use some sort of filler material and paint.

I say just swap with good dash and buy one of those windshield visors.

A+ post, would read again. As everyone else said, you can do nothing but curl up in a corner and cry.

get one of those carpet covers for the dash so you don't have to look at it?

You could pull the dash, take it to an upholstery shop, and have it wrapped. That would cover the cracks, and it won't crack again. Either way, you'll want to fill the cracks with some kind of semiflexible filler.

Once you start, the addiction grows...

Oh wait, you mean the other crack.

Leather wrap it!

Who cares? They're old cars, it's to be expected.

I dare you to post a pic of your interior as it looks right now. No cleaning. I'm just about 100% sure that crack is the least of your perfection issues.

There is no way to stop it....I had a small crack in my dash then a huge one happened over night. I used vinyl and leather conditioners on it along with UV protectants and even parked facing north, I also tried avoiding bumps/holes while driving and it still got a huge crack in it after 3 years.

This...this scares me. I have a minty uncracked dash and only use armoral

I've said this before and I'll say it again for you 13'ers, Olive Oil will keep your dash moist and supple.
My e30's have yet to crack in the past, present, & hopefully future as a result.

disclaimer: using it will attract a lot of dust, but what's easier to replace; a dash or a towel to wipe it clean?
