Need options for my Cracked dash

[Jaycenk]

Hey guys. I live in Florida and the Florida sun has killed the dash on my 98 Tahoe. I have multiple cracks and peices ready to fall out. I was thinking about buying a cap I saw on Ebay and just using some type of adhesive to body the cap on to the busted up dash. The 4 suport sections at the top near the windsheild have not failed yet but the cracks are damn close. Anyone use one of these things before? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Front-Dash-Pad-Cap-Overlay-Medium-Gray-Workmanship-Warr-/380366974531?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A1998%7CModel%3ATahoe&hash=item588fa36e43 Any other ideas or things you guys have done to fix this? I really don't want to have to swap dashes. to much of a pain in the ass. I'll post pics later.

sticky situation huh? Id hate to remove the dash and try to put it back in myself. The carpet covered dashes aren't that terrible looking. Id hate to see what that cover would look like once its on. Cheap plastic/corny looking to me.

Maybe knock out the whole defroster section then make a billet alum piece to cover over it using the same louvered look might work.

If I can find a good cap like the one in this youtube link I may bond the cracks and then sand them down and use a cap. I thought about taking the dash out and using tin or aluminum under the dash and bonding it and sanding and painting it but it seems like to much time for a truck with 165k on it. here check this out. The dodge's dash is in almost the same shap as mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfV1SvKv90c
