problem #1

Oct 012016

Ram Van 1500 Laredo 318 V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 162,000 miles

dashboard is broken into several pieces

This started with 1 long crack across the entire width of the dashboard. While removing the dash to attempt repair, every time I touched it , it broke again! Right now it is laying in my sun room my wife managed to super glue it back together than I coated the back of it with flexseal coating. We were trying to cover the top of it with rubber backed fabric ( to hide the glue and cracks) using spray glue and again every time we touched it, it started falling apart I have been driving my truck for the last month with no dash board. I have priced an oem replacement dashboard (around $350.00) but im afraid that I will run into the same problem!
