RE: need new dashboard cover

what about wrapping the dashboard with leather? (like in higher end Mercedes). It would be pricey, although i've been wanting to do that :P

Is the vinyl covering actually damaged, or has the glue just released?  If it’s just the glue, you can fix that.  If you’re not comfortable with DIY, find a good trim shop.  I am going to have to fix mine because the glue gets hard in the winter and partially releases it’s grip so I get a lot of stick/unstuck “popping” noises.

If there is a bubble in the vinyl, how to glue it back on? Do you have to take apart the whole vinyl covering and glue it back on?
