Dash repairs

[miklos]

My dash had 3 cracks and I filled them with Black Silicone.........the gasket kind. Now it is always sticky. How can I remove the silicone and what is the best way to fill the cracks? Or is there something I can coat over the dash in one layer? I heard SEM Weld was good for the cracks---maybe I can clean out the silicone & use SEM. What is best?

You could always buy an un-cracked dash

Or you could get one of these 88-93 Nissan 240SX 10-890 (http://www.coverlaymfg.com/index.php?crn=243&rn=497&action=show_detail)

As far as fixing them, I can't be of much help to you there

buy a clean dash that is the best way to go your going to be looking to spend anywhere from 100-150$ for a dash

i dont think thers anything you can just fill the cracks with. well atleast nothing that would make it look right. youd still be able to see/feel the cracks in the light.

just get a dash mat. hahaha

Best way is to buy a new dash.

If you dont wanna do that....

You can fiberglass it, but that ALSO requires removing the dash.

Put some vinyl on that mofo. Or the easiest thing its to replace dash.

There are lots of people who do this type of repair. A while back my wifes car was broken into and they put a small hole in the dash. The inshurance company had some guy come out and fix it. Took like ten minutes and it looked perfect. I wish I got his card, but it was a while back.
Maybe check with body shops or upolstery shops to see if they recomend someone.
