S14 Cracked Dash Advice.
Hi there. before anyone says, i have searched forums already lots of stuff on dashboards but not what I'm after.
Anyway I have a pretty mint s14, and late last year i noticed a tiny tiny crack on my dash board probably around 5mm long. Since then ive used wipes on the vinyl, I know some people say they are bad, and I have been using a sun shield and a dash rug.
This has worked well and the crack has grown no further, however dash rug etc are a hassle and dont look great, but I am scared if the crack grows it will ruin my interior. It is not noticeable at all at the moment, dash looks mint, but it is in a very central location so if the crack runs will look terrible.
I was wondering what the best way to stop crack growth here would be. I looked online and people recommend burning holes in the ends of the cracks to reduce point stress, but as my crack is small and unnoticeable this might make it alot more noticable and ugly. What I was thinking was a little bit of super glue in the crack to seal it, but i'm worried about putting on too much and again making it very obvious or having a big lump there.
So I'm not keen to rip out the dash, hassle, or recover, expensive and mine still looks great. But I am looking to stop this crack ruining it without ruining it myself in the process. Has anyone tried either of these methods, or a different method, or what advice do you guys have?
Cheers.
