they are redesigned a bit, from what I have seen by appearance it was a half-effort, I figure if I ever replace mine I will epoxy some pop sickle stick type plastic strips in the weak spots before installing it.
I epoxied metal rods in those areas before installing my new one. They did reinforce them with webbing too.

One thing you might do instead of the pop sickle sticks is use some fiberglass cloth and use an epoxy for that in those spots... Not much sticks to ABS tho,

I have a 2007 Tahoe, and have recently found a crack on the front dash. I was wondering if anybody else has had issues with the dash cracking for no apparent reason. By the way, it is on the back side of the top dash right behind the airbag cut out for the passenger.
I have an 07 GMC Yukon XL and my whole dash is cracked

I did not even notice the cracks when purchased the used Tahoe but when selling back to dealer they brought it up. What about those Takata airbags lol

Is there more in depth info on adding support in the center under the speaker?
not really just stick a flashlight in there and look the bottom is uneven so you just need to be creative, I just eyeballed it from the bottom of the speaker, put it in & out a few times till it had a just a little space sticking up then bolted it back down so it was snug and applying some light up-pressure to support the dash.

Thanks. I want to be a little proactive ans provide some support there before I get the dreaded cracks. When it does crack I will be doing a skin on it however I have been wondering how to install it in a way it can easily be removed...
