repairing crack in dash

My 1992 Z28 has a small crack on the passenger side of the dash. It's probably a little less than an inch long and if you push down on it, it seals up pretty much perfect. Is there an easy way to fix a crack such as this? Here's a picture of the crack:

I'd be tempted to use a couple drops of super glue. The hard part is getting it in the crack, and not on the surface that will be exposed after it's set up.

I was thinking of that as well. I just have to figure out some way to get it in that small area without doing what you said or making the crack any bigger.

Re: repairing crack in dash

how far can you pull the loose piece up? If you can get it up a little ways I would think you could get some super glue under there. but I wouldn't expect to much I bet by next year it will be coming back up again, but hey it's worth a shot.

If you can get a hold of one u could always use a wide needle syringe .. by buddy uses them to touch up paint on cars.....I had a similar crack and I used a little super glue then covered it with some vinyl repair stuff from autozone... after that you couldn't even notice it

If that doesn't work you could try drilling out crack, fill, and respray entire pad.
