Dashbord curling on the leftside by defroster

Post by ricemill »

What would be the easiest most cost effective fix for the dash culing up at defrost vent. it has broke thecenter clip between the vents. and I need a new one i know, and where can one be found. It is a 2000 leganza.

i was a little confused too. if its just the vinyl or fake leather part just buy a can of spray glue and go at it.

oh then nope. only thing i can think of is for you to take off the entire dash and try to put it back and see where the problem is exactly.

a pro shop might be able to weld it back together (plastic weld). it wouldn't look all that great, but still...


you may need to repair it and then re-cover it

my dash (98 leganza) is also peeling up around the demister vents. I just hide it under a dash mat because even aroldite didnt work to fix it

i don't even know how you could fix that. :shock: if its the cardboard then that might be a big problem at least shape wise of the dash. try taking it to like an auto interior place to see what they say. they'll be the ones to know whats up and might even tell you how to fix it if its simple.
