AE86 cracked dash, home repair ideas? Wed, 24 September 2003 01:59 Go to previous message
Hello all,
typical for the good ol Sprinter to spilt its dash.
Luckily so far mine only has a small split that branches out as 2 splits in the centre of the cluster shroud.

Besides having it reskinned, anyone have any suggestions?

For small crack slike this, no more than half a mill wide, what does that vinyl repair work like?

Superglue and snad and repaint with vinyl paint? OR any glues, I know superglue has nasty fumes, not sure if will do damage.

Is there another Corolla model that has a similar shaped cluster shroud area. like can cut the AE86 dash at where it starts to rise and fit the new cluster shrould over it (probably needing cutting as well). So the dash becomes 2 components as alot of models have anyways.

I have seen people make "custom dashes" with bodyfiller and painting it after.
Do you think ganking out the dash, covering it in a small layer of bodyfiller, sanding and painting would work? OR would that crack in sun etc etc etc.

Thnx....
