Does anyone know of a product to patch a crack in a dash pad. Small crack in center of a black pad

It is interesting that you ask. I've replied to 3 or 4 similar questions in the past week.

From what I've heard, you can use Liquid Nail to fill a small crack in the dash pad. Then you lightly sand it once the Liquid Nail cures. Finally, you use paint to blend the repair with the rest of the dash. I've read on our forums before that this works well.

I think there are also kits available from your local auto parts store that have a similar compound that is designed specifically for repairing dashes.

Thanks this is for a mostly original 89k miles build sheet 70 W-30 that has never been apart. The ralley pack works including the tach and radio with absolutely no rattles. I don't want to tear it apart.

Warning do not try this at home. You probably know about justdashes.com which can perfectly restore your dash pad to original if you send it to them with $800.00. However, there is a nationally franchised in field repair service called "Dr. Vinyl" which can do an imperceptible repair. They repaired a cut in my Mercedes leather which lasted 200,000 miles and was never evident. Ask your local GM dealer for the best one he uses as the skill level is different for each franchisee. A good one can repair your dash and no one will ever know. Good luck.

That is cool. I will have to look up Dr. Vinyl.
