Fixing a dashboard crack?

Ok, well I have a black dash and well these is a long crack in the center of the dashboard, its about 5 inches long and its about as wide as 10 playing cards. Is there any way I can fix it or should I just hunt for another dash? Thanks!

you would be better of looking for another dash....... they are not too mush $$ and you have a S13 so it shouldnt be very hard to find one.........good luck.

I would go to your local upholstery shop get a roll of suede measure out your dash and glue away. That is the best solution I came up with that saved me from pulling the dash.

well if you have time. take out the dash, use some type of body filler or something that will work on plastic to fill in the cracks, sand the whole thing down then repaint it. i started doing it with mine but i quit cuz i didnt want to take my dash out because i wouldnt be able to drive to school for a couple of days and i hate the bus, lol. i never finished it and im to lazy now to get it done, but with a little time and effort im sure it will work. and if it doesnt just get a dash on ebay, im probably gonna end up doing that.
