really ghetto way -

put superglue in the crack. let dry... sand the crack down even with the surrounding dash..use bondo to fill any imperfections, and sand again.. go buy some vinyl spray paint for carpet or door panels to match you dash color... fixed..

i would just go and buy a new dash pad.... it will look alot better than doing it the ghetto way...lmao

my 4th gen had a long crack on the dashboard (passenger side) and all i did was cover it up with a dash mat. its less reflective when driving in sunlight and also makes the interior look nicer

nah, what you do is use a polymer to seal the cracks, then you sand that down to a smooth finish. the next thing you do is flock the dash.

check this out, it is what i am doing to my old nissan truck interior flocking along with some glassing and carbon fiber mixed in on certain parts:

edited to add: if you decide to do this be sure to by the air flock sprayer, it works soooooo much better than the sprinkle can.

There are guys fixing cracks on dashes...I saw a vid on youtube awhile back of some old guy doing it. And he is a ******! I say if you have a bmw get it fixed. If you have a tahoe go to the pull a part.
