Hey guys i was just wondering if they make a product for repairing the dash pad for my 89 formula? The pad is mint except for the corner drivers side it has cracks and starting to peel

 

I'm in your boat too. I'm guessing you saw this thread?

Here's what I got going on that I need to manage before I lose material out of the interior. Just a couple cracks on the corner now but before you know it... problems.

Can a sage TGO member with experience with the interior repair verify the best way to fix these hairline cracks?

Thanks!

 

Bump!

 

I have the same problem on my DD. I have a new pad but would like to fix this one since this is the only problem. There's gotta be some type of "goo" that can be used to cement this. I haven't really looked myself.

 

i had the same exact problem. i found this generic vynl repair kit for like $5. its like a small sodering pen except the end of it is a small metal disk about the size of a quarter. and it comes with a little pad with the vynl texture thats pretty exact. you sort of melt the area a bit around the damage with the pen, spread it over evenly, then dab it with the texture pad and let it dry. looks like there was never any damage

 

you could plastic weld it. there's a company called urathane supply company (i think) that has everything you would need.
i bought a plastic welder from them to fix some GFX tabs that were broken. they sent a dvd also, and i got bored and watched it. they showed a guy fixing a padded dash. pretty cool.

 

AutoZone sells a vinyl repair kit that is supposed to work wonders on your dash. Never personally used it but know people who have & been satisfied with it. Dont know too much about it though.

 

This is the route I'll likely go before start searching for a replacement. I'll let you know how it goes.
