Just wondering if anyone knows if you can repair small dash cracks? Mine isn't all that bad, there is one split about 3/4" long at the top just to the left of the steering wheel. I also have one by the center speaker grill, and a small one on the passenger side face of the dash where it curves (should probably mention it's a '79 LeMans). I figured because the cracks aren't that big I might be able to repair them rather than trying to find a good used dash. The only other problem spot is some cigarette damage at the bottom edge above the ashtray, but I figure some light sanding and some interior dye will fix that.
 
they sell repair kits at the parts store or you can super glue it.
 
If you go to Canadian tire they sell a tube of stuff called "Liquid vinyl repair" use it to fill your crack, you can then sand it, smooth and use some SEM vinyl texture spray, followed by the SEM in your desired colour.
it should last you a few years if you do it right

Good luck
