2013 Tahoe, front part of dash

[kylers2k]

I did the dashskin cover and it's great quality. Right under $150 shipped. No one notices it riding with me unless I point it out.

I just worked piece by piece to get it back together after seeing the price of a new one. It indeed is brittle but I no longer have a terrible rattle.


Putting the cap on isn’t bad. It didn’t 100% fit the contour around the top of the gauges so I had to warm it up some. I used regular silicone to install. I don’t know what brand it is because it came with my vehicle.

Hi there Joel,

I bought a used/salvaged one that was in a really good shape, still $160, but a new one is twice that. I am also installing an XM antenna in a "pre-owned antenna hole" and want to route it underneath that panel and drop it between the two air ducts. I'll install the panel after that. I want to keep the old pieces, there seems to be a shell for the front too.

as I said, I really like my Tahoe, but the black recycled panels are junk, it seems. Who would have thought that recycling plastic, (re-heating it so it can be moulded will break polymeres) and setting in in the baking sun at 20 degrees would be asking for trouble.

Best fix I've seen so far is @The Raven, but it looked like loads of work.

Do you have a link for that?

Dashmat makes covers they are only $40, you can choose from several colors and you can custom embroider one also if you want, they have been around decades

Hi Wes,

I am the guy that replaced the dead audio controls with a $40 cubby *lol*.. I'm not gonna put carpet on the dash....

Ron- go to the interior section. There is a dash cap that covers the entire ash and works well. I have a thread there.

Dashskin about $ 150 and is easy install

That actually looks pretty decent... I might look into that

thanks!

googled the # saw a few on ebay for under $100

I didn't see them on ebay that inexpensive, I found one in a good shape that was $160. I was/am seriously thinking if I should put a layer of JB-weld on the underside.. but ... that might get pretty expensive.

I was just suggesting alternatives to "glue-ing" a cover on, a new replacement dash is the best fix but a bit costly

I made a cubby for the back radio control spot out of $3 of abs plastic and plumbers glue

Hi Rene,

thanks! I wish I had found that one before I ordered mine. I guess I;ll use that link the next time it breaks/cracks *lol*
