SuperPickle Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'm curious to know if this happens to anyone else. I have a hard-plastic dash cover (covering a VERY cracked dash), and whenever I have to floor it from a stop (for whatever reason ), it never fails to fall off and hit the headlight switch, turning it off. In a well-lit area, this has gotten me pulled over a number of times, when I didn't realize they were off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I've had one on my first Z, and if I remember correctly, the instructions were to attach the cover with some kind of adhesive. I believe silicone is used most widely. It was never meant to be "sitting" on the dash. You may also want to sand the cracks smooth as the crack walls are usually raised by such an amount that it keeps the dash cover from making good contact throughout. Clean (using a solvent of some sort to remove any oils or silicone based preservative) the dash thoroughly before applying the adhesive. I used heavy metal plates to keep the dash positioned correctly until the silicon "set". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanh Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hmm scary. I was restoring my dash with filler and fiberglass. Its turning out pretty good. Everything is even and its hard as a rock. Just need to prep it for paint thats about it. Maybe one more coat of primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
