that is why you get it installed at the dealer might be a little more for labor but they break it they pay for it right? i would rather not subject a local shop to that
They will not replace anything for free, are you kidding? If it looks brittle ( mine was and that’s why it broke removing it) they’ll include that part in the estimate before they even get started. Most likely if your dash is cracked, that panel won’t survive the R&R. It’s not a fast process to replace the dash either so expect to pay $300-$500 labor. This is an expensive failure that should never happen in the first place. There’s a few threads on these dashes on here and other forums, it’s been discussed to death. There are overlays that go over the top as well as other alternatives depending on how picky you are. I attempted the hot staple method that you can see on YT but mine was too brittle and just broke in a different place. After I reinstalled it. In the end I replaced both my dash and the flat panel and am going to tint my windshield to minimize the suns effects.
Yuck.
Maybe, but it's an option for someone who doesn't want to spend the coin on a new dash
The dash skins for about $100 to $150 look good for not much more though. For $50 you get the carpet covers that look horrible imo. But yes there are plenty of options.
