Exclamation Crack in Dash of my 04 TL

So I just noticed that my passenger side has a small crack in it, does anyone know if this can be repaired or if I will have to replace the entire dash board? I normally keep my car in tip top condition but I guess the Florida Sun has done a number on it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated or if anyone knows of someone in the Orlando area that can repair / replace it for me i'll be willing to do so.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but it sounds like this is a somewhat common problem on the earlier TLs. Here is a thread dealing with the issue:

I don't think you can get it repaired. It will have to be replaced. Once it starts to crack it gets much worse quickly. The replacement can cost upwards of $1200.

The good news is some lucky members have been able to get their replacement covered as a good will repair by the dealership. Read that thread I linked. It will give you information on your options

I'm getting a "Good Will" 60/40 split with Acura. My share is about $500.

I filed a claim with corporate. I ended up paying just for labor which was around $550. Keep in mind that they need your car for a full day to fix it.
