Re-wrapping Dash Pad?
I had to take my dash pad out to get out my failing burnoff module, which was a lot easier than i thought it would have been.
4 Screws and a pull towards me and it slid right out.
Now can the dash pad be re-wrapped? Its all cracked and hard from being baked in the sun for 25 years..or should i just get one of those $100 dash pad covers from one of the vette stores?

The problem with getting material and doing it that is I have never found anything that dosen't reflect back into the windshield. Believe me I have looked, only the after market guys have any thing that works Mid America has both a hard cover and a soft cover for around a $100.00, that is the way to go. I did see a photo of someone that had the carpet cover with a nice C4 logo on it but I cant find one, it looked very nice

I have had my dashcap on for 2 years and its holding up well. No one can even tell its a cap without looking real hard. I believe because its so flat its hard to spot as being a cap unlike a lot of dashes with curves and humps...WW

i think i'm going to go for the dash cap, i don't really have 400+ dollars for a new one 
Is there something that you can put on the dash cap to make it last longer? is it the same material as the stock one?

Mine is made of a soft plastic material and has a lifetime warranty,they even gave me a small tube of silicon to install it with. I put a detailing spray on it, but thats just to make it shine, not to make it last..WW
