Fixing Dash Cracks

[RangerBoy94]

I have a few small cracks in my dash how do I fix them??? Should I mix up some epoxy and just spread it over the cracks?

IMHO, there is no real way to make it look right as a "repair". I just put a Dashmat in my 91 Explorer when it started cracking. I would bet one of the armrest repair kits would do the trick, but I've never seen one where the color matched right.

Well I might try the epoxy fix if that works I'll let you guys know and mabey do a tech write up.

lol i slammed my fist into the dash yesterday to get the blower motor working... cracked the dash and sliced my hand open. won't be doing that again.

but epoxy sounds like the best solution to keep it from spreading any further

Epoxy does sound like a good solution the keep in from spreading, as does avoiding physically abusing it... lol

hehe i wasn't hitting it cause i was mad or anything. the blower motor sometimes doesn't work and it will start working if i cause a jolt in the body or wiggle the plug. lately i started to hit the dash to make it work where before i would just open the door and slam it

i've tried to twist the pins of the motor about 15degrees to tighten the connection and it still does it. not losing power or ground so it has to be the connection or worn out brushes in the motor.
