3 LT Dash Repair
Found a 2017 3LT that I really like, however, it has the dash separation in a few areas. I know that injecting glue can help, but does anyone know what it would cost to replace a dash should it come to that?

I hope you are getting a deep discount for it. If it is a dealer, I would make arrangements for the repair before I took it home.

I would negotiate a discount ( like $4k ) to allow for the repair & if the seller refuses, I would move on to the next one

A lot! Let us know if you try the glue and syringe. I think one of the reasons the dash gets messed up, is people slathering conditioner on it. The only thing I use on my dash is a very slightly damp cloth. It's a 2014 and hasn't changed in the last 3 years. I don't even use a sunshade when I park it outside.

I'm wondering, what do dealers do with the original dashboard after replacing it? Can it be repaired and offer it as a less expensive second?

The original dashboard gets reused, they recover it

Local upholstery shop told me $4K, they remove/replace the old dash, remove the old leather and install new aftermarket leather covering. He told me there are plenty of cars besides the Corvette with this problem. He had a Corvette in the shop when I stopped by.
