^ that looks like a decent low cost solution. I'd like to see one in person. I'm pretty meticulous.

The Dash Caps have been around for years and years. A friend of mine with a 1974 Datsun 240Z got one for his car. It looked better than the broken up dash, but I could always tell it was a cap.

Years ago, they used to make a vinyl & leather repair kit, it was a rubbery compound you would mix and try to get the correct color, then spread it on the material and there was this piece of vinyl they would send to use as a pattern. I wonder if something like this would work for the dash cracks... use it like a bondo, and then make an impression to get the texture... Wouldn't be perfect without painting the entire dash, but it might look a little better.

If/when this happens to me, I would still personally consider going to an upholstery shop and see if they can cover it in vinyl.

if they wont fix my 2008, i bet they will laugh harder at your 2007. The customer service lady at two dealerships i talked to while working with corporate GM both said the goodwill on dashes is not likely unless it is still under warranty

Same issue. Cracked dash on driver side on back side of the cluster hump. Just dealing with it but would love to have it replaced if all possible.

Yea i doubt mine would get fixed. Im out of warranty. How much does the dash cost?

Mines is cracked as well

Yea I have one crack just like one of your pictures from right around the passenger air bag cover. Also another partial crack right behind the instrument dash hood. Sucks.

Have any of you guys tried a dash cap yet? I work at a recon facility so I use these every day. They mount over the top of the original dash and have a lifetime warranty against cracks an stuff.

I will snap some before and afters next time I get a Tahoe through, that's one of the best looking covers they sell.
