2007 cracked dashboard

[Sheriff]

Thanx Sheriff! I was thinking maybe armor-all or something of the like maybe. I just sold an 07 Silverado NBS, and had the entire windshield tinted for about 4 years, and that dash didnt crack. Wonder if that helped?

The window tint would keep the ultraviolet rays off the plastic dashboard.

It could possibly make a difference.

I know this is off topic but GM stated that the transfer case failures in 01-07 2500hd trucks with a Duramax were wear problems. The same clip breaks and causes around $3000 in repairs. GM has a history of denying....

I have the same problem on my 07 Tahoe. Small crack by on the passenger side by the airbag and a 3-4" crack above the instrument cluster.
Stopped by 2 dealers today one of which is "the biggest Chevy dealer in the Midwest". They claim they have never seen a Tahoe with this problem. They go on to quote me a $550 part and 5 hours of labor at $120 an hour. I'm very annoyed that they would do nothing to help me out as I was not about to drop $1200 on this.
Obviously GM knows theres a problem as they have changed the replacement pieces that people are getting. Looks like I'm gonna have to live with it.

I have an 07 with the dreaded cracked dashboard and peeling door handles. I called my dealer and they agreed to fix the door handles, no charge. He said he would have to ask a GM rep about the dash because my truck is over 5 years and 1 day old. He called back and said they could pay for the dash, but the labor expense would be out of pocket ($225). I was wondering if I should take that and run with it, or pitch a fit to try to get labor paid too. I know there are some on here who've been told nothing could be done, and there's some who's gotten it fixed free of charge. What should I do??

Honestly, I'd take it. With all the other people NOT getting it done, it's better than nothing.

The dash on my 2010 avalanche with 38k miles on it cracked a few months ago. I went to a chevy dealership and they seemed to have no idea that this was an issue on these trucks. However, they fixed it for FREE, no questions asked. I didn't even buy the truck from that dealership. They said it was a one time goodwill repair. Not sure if all dealerships have this type of 'goodwill' program, but it's worth asking about.
