Tim, Do you have a brown dash? The brown interiors break down from sun damage much more than the black (the grey dashes last the longest). Replace the dash with a black one. It's not too hard to find one in excellent condition. I even have a few for sale ;) Cheers, Jeff www.vanagonparts.com

Hello, I removed my dash to replace the heater core and found that the padded Part of the dash was a lot more sun damaged that I originally thought. I am looking for ideas on what can be used to refinish the dash pad. The part number is 255 857 171 and comes up at 832.00+ on the Bus Depot site. I need to do something to replace the pad as there are holes in the dash where it was attached. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks Tim |
