When you think you've got something good...it goes bad

I've seen a million Chargers with cracked dashpads over the years and I was always thankful that mine was mint..no cracks, no dents, no nothing! Working in the garage today, I caught a glimpse of something on my dashpad......a crack! Looks like I need a new dashpad..... :brickwall: :brickwall: :brickwall: and after all those years thinking..yeah, I have a mint dashpad. Sorry for the little rant.

Hey Cody, be THANKFUL you can GET a repop dash fairly inexpensively, I have  a 1966 Charger, and they don't repop those and IF you ever find one, it is RIDICULOUSLY high.

Im thankful my dash is perfect but now you have me wondering if there's a crack in it...

Dash Pads, I wish I only had that to worry about.  :yesnod: Here in Kansas the Humidity is eating our cars up.  Even in real garages.  :brickwall:

Knock on wood but my dash has not cracked yet.  I keep it out of the sunlight and wipe it down wipe baby oil at least once a year to keep it soft.
