Default LT 4 Dash Leather

I have a 2008 4 LT that has Ebony and Cashmere interior. My dash has delaminated and I am looking to get it repaired. My upholstery shop has not been able to locate the GM Cashmere and Ebony leather and I’m wondering if anyone knows of a source for them .

Probably SOL on the OEM leather. I talked to an upholstery guy when I was looking at an lt4 GS with a ruined dash. He said he's done a lot of them and is very familiar. He said he never recovers with leather and use the new vinyl that doesn't shrink,Is uv resistant and can color match.

You shouldn't need new leather, just new adhesive.

I agree. The dash isn't that difficult to remove. I followed this step-by-step and it took me & my 11 year old son (at the time) just under 2 hours to remove it.
