Default Dash-top Weatherproofing Protection (1978-82). One Possible Solution.

My dash is in very good condition but after 24 years there is some colour fade on the top. No cracking but I guess things are moving in that direction. It would be a shame to go through a complete dash removal to re-dye the top edges if there is an alternative. So I ran across this product on EBay and purchased it. I cannot attest to the quality of the product but it does look interesting. Needs dye on the leading edges but that is not a problem. Thought you might be interested....

I agree. If it fits, it works. If not, then another experiment gone bad. I thought it is worth a try.

hmmmm -- the winner is "AZBob" from Phoenix.

I guess I will have to track him down to see if this dash is any good.
