Don't let the cracked dash ruin the TL experience. Cough up the change for a new dash and continue to enjoy the car!

I paid less than $600 to have it replaced. Go to your local Acura dealership and have them file something with corporate.

Dude, your TL looks terrific. I know you're upset about the dash. Sleep on it and then get it fixed-don't sell your car when you're mad. You'll regret it later.

^^^I'll help you!

Trust me, same feeling here...1st inkling after babying this bi*ch and putting 303 on it and parking in the shade or garage and putting up the sun shade...and the fkn thing cracked anyway...and the dealership was trying to get me to grab my ankles on something that is not normal to break and NOT wear and tear. Yeah, i was with you...fk this car...I'm gone.

BUT, that said, honestly, (and I hate dash covers)...after having it on for a while...I would NOT consider selling the car over this. I've put too much love into it. Funny thing, on Sunday, I was looking at my topper thinking MAN I love how that looks and the fact that I'd almost forgotten that the dash was even cracked under there.

As they say, IT'S CHEAPER TO KEEP HER!

There is justone little crack on the plastic section near the center speaker. If it stays like that and never cracks anymore I'd be ok with it because it is hardly noticeable. If another Houston member didnt mention that his dash had cracked I wouldn't have even noticed it. Is there a way to stop it from spreading?

I dont have a number, I just adjust it to where there is no finger gap.
