2006 Acura TL

Ive been expecting this to happen, and today it finally did after 13 years. I’m bummed. I’ve searched the forum, but here’s my question: is there anything I can do now to slow the cracking? Glue? Anything? Or should I just let it run it’s course?

I can’t bring myself to replace it in a car this old. Just wondering if anyone has had any luck with catching it earlier. Here’s the photo:

 

Got to watch what you apply as the air bag resides under the cover.

 

Get a dash cover like I did.

 

It does suck. Especially if you take care of the car, and take precautions.


I plan on getting the coverlay dash cover, like Gatrhumpy did. It looks the best of any of the offerings for our model.

Try not blasting your A/C when the car has been sitting in the heat.

Ive seen many TL dashes in the PNW. Never a crack.

 

Obviously didn't search that hard.

Not much you can do. It has begun. Mine started 2-3 years ago over on the driver's side and just slowly grew since then to cover the entire dash. I still wipe my dash down monthly and then hit it with 303.

 

It is going to get a lot WORSE!

 

I would just replace it if it bothers you that much. It looks like quite a lot of work.
