Dashboard Vinyl Repair / Replace

[MartynT]

Morning Folks,

I am looking at a Fulvia to buy & unfortunately the dashboard vinyl has a split in it running from the windscreen all the way to the front of the dashboard.  Is it possible to get a replacement vinyl section or could it be repaired / completely recovered?

Thanks for any assistance.

Martyn.

Hi Martyn,
               I think you have three options:
1. Repair it yourself. Frost sell a special filler, but I suspect it's not an easy repair.

2. Get a professional to repair it, such as:

3. Buy a new one. Rosso Corsa sell reproduction dash tops, but they're not cheap

Good luck and let the forum know what you decide to do. I've got two dashboard tops and both are cracked. I'll have to try one of the above in due course.

Thanks for the reply Barry - much appreciated. The interior of the car I'm looking at is quite shabby to be honest so I may consider going down the replacement route as a number of other interior items will need replacing or refurbing.

Regards,
Martyn.
