RogerH Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi Folks, I have a small crack in the black vinyl on the righthand side just below the air vent. What folk used to repair this - can it be repaired. Had a look on ebay for loctitie vinyl weld but there is none. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Roger A per previous post in 'At the Bar' have a watch of this, they do manage to repair the dashboard perfectly but unfortunately the repair process changes the colour of the dashboard. I think the challenge will be to work out what colour to spray your dashboard before repair so that it ends up black after the repair. On a more serious note think TR shop have the crash pads in stock if you decide to replace.

littlejim Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 there are vinyl/silcone/etc repair kits that allow you to fill the crack and and press a vinyl patterned cloth on to the goop while it sets. If you have a black dash you are larfing 'cos you can use one of the hardware store silicones. Did some small cracks in my black dash this way and am happy with the result (looks better than the crack did.0 (However as you know I now wear reading glasses) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Boyd Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Roger, On occasion i have repaired such damage with polyurethane sealer (upol tiger seal) Seems to do the trick for me Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
