    Wavy Dash - need help

    Hey guys. My black material dash is starting to lose it's grip and showing waves on the passenger side. Hope that makes sense. Car is about 13 years old now and i'm guessing the glue and padding are coming lose. Any experience with this and a good way to glue back in place? Was thinking about starting over and doing a carbon fiber sticker dash, but not sure I want to get into all that. I don't have a glove box, which probably would have helped minimize this lose material.
    Would love to hear your thoughts?

    My guess is that you'd want to pull it to repair to get it right. If its coming loose on one side, might not be a stretch to say that some other areas might exhibit the same issue soon. If you got 13 years out of it, I'd say you got your money and time worth! Now's your chance to give it a bit of a modern facelift!

    I just pulled out a dash pad from a kit that was delivered in 2004 and the padding fell right off the covering. Guess the glue isn't good forever.

    It might not be the glue. It could be the foam padding deteriorating after 13 years of sun and just aging.
