Vinyl Dash Repair...

[cherrington17]

when i was putting in my gauges i accidentally melted a small line in my dash :pissed:

how do i patch that? its about 1/2 an inch long and 1/4 inch wide.

anyone have a good way? its nothing major, just irritating...

Is your dash in your car? what are you doing that you're risking melting your dash? (maybe i missed it elsewhere)

[Vtolds]

Are you installing a gauge pillar? I dont get how you would melt your dash, but obviously you managed to find a way :grin:

it was a really thoughtless thing that i did. it was while i was putting in the guage pod. i had a trouble light sitting on my dash infront of my steering wheel to light up where i was drilling (for the 2 screws) and it heated up the metal shield on the light enough to melt the vinyl. :pissed:

Ohhhh! That makes sense... i've burned myself with mine so many times i would NEVER put it inside my car. Sorry dood, that sux ass. :(

And I don't know how to fix that, either.

Have you thought about fiberglassing your dash? :P

i've thought about it. but would never actually do it. too much work, too much money. i like mod'n the alero, but not that much modding...lol i still have many years of school to pay for.

go to a car part place and tell them about your prblem im sure they have some sort of dash repair kit or something of that nature
