Cracked Dashboard

Has anyone else had this issue in their cars? How difficult and expensive would it be to replace this piece? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

if its the piece closest to the window its all one piece. that is one large piece that holds the air bag, cluster, vents, radio, glove box, h-vac contols. (if its the piece that cracked like mine closest to the windshield)

It is a common problem on Js. You can get an overlay "cover" for it or swap out the whole dash to a non broken one.

Cover it up, if you replace it it'll just happen again. I live in AZ, so it's even worse here...I actually have 2 cracks.

Guess I am either bustin' out the duct tape or leaving it as is...my friend's 01 Cav has the same thing. Mine is an 02.

$30 from Autozone, think the brand is Coverking. Not perfect by any means but looks a lot better than the two cracks underneath

mines a 97... no crack

OP

either get the overlay, or go to a junk yard and replace the dash piece... just take your time when putting it back together... so it doesnt creak and groan on every bump lol
