Can't you buy a new one for less, and still retain the speaker grill? I'm
pretty sure you can.
As for the Vaseline, well, uh, I can think of some good Beavis & Butthead
comments I'd throw out :) Once the plastic/vinyl is gone you really can't
bring it bach to life. Buy a new one is my input.

Dearest List,
I am in the process of putting Phillip's dashboard back in place. I
got a nicer one from a parts car, with only 1.5 cracks this time. Does
anyone have any tips for bringing an oxidized and brittle dash pad back
to life?
Here's what I learned today:
1) There's a place in Medford, OR called "Dash Specialists" that will
restore mine for $250-300. It will be "better than new", but will loose
the radio openings in the process. Call (541) 776-0040 Doug Harris
2) He recommended rubbing it down with Vasaline and letting it sit for
awhile. Anyone tried this?
Thanks,
Peter Parker
