Re: [T3] Dash Repair


AZBob=> how to keep the dash from expanding under heat the
=> problem will be solved.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but it seems like there ought to be a way,
maybe through a regular maintenance routine, to keep the vinyl  soft enough
that it can stretch and contract without damage. Has anyone tried, say,
regular applications of vegetable oil? Or is this simply another example,
like the hinge covers, of materials that simply can't last this long?

Just for the list's info, there are people out there who rebuild and recover
molded vinyl dashes for a living (do you do this too, Bob?). This doesn't
come up here very often because it's so expensive, but if you really want it
you can get it. Check Hemming's for suppliers like Just Dashes.
