Go to the junk yard and try to find a cheap dash board with little/ no cracks and install it when the weather gets nice again. Good luck!

Same thing happened to me here in Kentucky, one day, no cracks, next after a cold night crack right down the middle of the dash pad, wtf indeed, thinking about getting the dash reupholstered, anyone do that, what was cost and all, if anyone knows, damn cheap vinyl dashes, lol, oh well, life goes on, off to the JY to hopefully find one not cracked, good luck to me, and anyone else looking for one.

Re: You'll never guess....

partstrain.com sells dash pads , they are replacemnts , but they are in black " i think" they go for i think 100 , and then classic industries sells an actual oem dashboard for like almost 400 oh and they also sell the dash pad for less , still kinda pricey though
