Its gotta come off. What happens if you have an accident that damages that side of the dash? Throw the car away? It may take some heroic efforts but it has to be replaceable somehow...

Interior dye
I'm just finishing up swapping out my cashmere interior for the ebony/titanium interior. It has been a big job but I've hit one little speed bump, the small piece of the dash on the right side of the glove box is not removable. Therefore I need to dye this piece titanium grey. Does anyone know if GM makes a color matched dye or any other brand that would be really close? I appreciate any help. Thanks

Try "Leather Magic" who lists many OEM colors.
Look for the color code as it may actually be called something else !

I know which piece you're talkin about. It does come off, and pretty easily at that. If you open the glove box and look down the edge, you'll notice two pop-rivets. All you need to do is drill the pop-rivets out and it will just fall off. Then put the new piece in place and use new pop-rivets, very easy. I know because I had DSV do all my interior pieces in red leather and that part had to come off as well. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info jogar80. Also, thanks to everyone above, looks like I'll try those leads out and see if I can't get some dye made up that's really close. Unfortunately GM only sells the entire dash pad as one piece so I'm stuck trying to work with what I've got.

you might also try just getting some "vinyl color" spray paint at an auto parts store like autozone. Works great and wont peel, I've tried it already. It's not a perfect match, but for such a small piece its not too far off.
