I've looked all over the internet trying to find someone with a similar issue or fix for my particular problem but have come up surprisingly empty. My bronx "beater" was born and raised in Florida and apparently the sun seems to finally taken its toll on the dash. Here are some pics..
This happened when I sneezed between snapshots:
While it looks like the instrument panel surround isn't snapped in, causing the gap, it actually is. It appears as though the "glue" holding the cushioned top in place has been cooked away and is now pulling back from its normal position. Not to mention the ends are just sort of "caking" off like overused insulation. I mean... like what the hell? How do I fix this short of ripping off the whole dash top and then... I don't know. I'm at a loss as to how to repair it. Or is this one of those times I just have to throw money at it to fix it?
More pics available if u want, just let me know what u want or need to see. Advice is more than welcome.
