I was talking to my mech about 2 weeks ago and pointed out the pealing dash to him. It's really starting to get bad, in fact the dash is peeling so much that it's curling up and I can see black under the dash pad
Now this is a $766 part at the dealer (new dash price) but he said I could either get the leather for the dash or get a new dash and he would install it and reglue the old and the new dash too. But the old dash is peeled so much, it might not be fixable. The tan dashes are very hard to find around here.
I stop at a junkyard on the way home and they have 5 1999 Aleros there and 2 of then have the tan interior.
The first one hit a tree, the windshiled all smashed to poop, and the dash was black from all the dust from the yard. But the dash was in pretty good shape, a few dings in the dash. The 2nd one the car was up on a rack, so I climbed up and got in the car. This one didn't look totaled. The dash was in very good shape. I did feel a bit of raised part like mine started to do, but it's getting reglued anyway.
I ordered it and the cost is $275. I don't pay until I pick it up. I probably won't have the cash to install it for about a month or so, but I figured get it now, while I can. The second Alero I looked at had a lot of nice parts on it, if anybody is interseted.
