How to secure dash from cracking?

[Kwaaahhh]

so anyone know how to keep cracks from getting bigger. my dash was crack free, then i noticed the other day a small 1/4 inch crack right on the corner of the defrost vents.

Just notice one starting on my dash over the weekend. So what can I do to prevent it from getting bigger? I'm prolly going to get some aero 303 this week, that shiet rocks!

Armor all and all that stuff is shit i mean it helps a little bit but like someone said the key is too keep it as soft as possible.

The best thing ive tried so far that was recommended to me from a friend was to get mink oil which is for leather boots. I think you can find this stuff at a Ace Hardware store. Works great.

Drill a hole at the end of it. Get the smallest drill bit you can while still being able to make an adequate sized hole (so you can't really notice it).

Armor All is just a good tool for pointing out those who don't know.

I actually never had any problems with their entire line up of products. just have to use right product for right application.

UV Protection is the key. Most vinyl products with have it in them. And use a sunshade 365 days a year.

Use a sun blocking shield, clean the dash with silicon free (and not oily/shiny) cleaning agent and clean cloth, leave your windows open a little bit.

that makes 2

303 Aerospace is a decent UV protector.

I don't know if you can get it over there, but Vinyl-X is made for cleaning and protecting vinyl parts and has a UV inhibitor to protect against sun damage
