I say get a nail or staple gun, and just nail that sucker down.. that'd be the ghetto way of fixing it. temporarily anyways.. ( or maybe even duct tape lol, what doesn't that fix?? ) or you can just get a cloth dash cover or a new dash pad for it, around 50 or 60 something $'s for the plastic cover which looks stock, and I have no clue how much a cloth one is though, but that's what I have and I like it... sorta

haha I didn't think you were actually gonna try the nail thing , if your cloth dash cover is comin up, just use some velcro to hold it down to the dash, that's what I did, and nobody can see that the dash was peeling up in the front now. got if from wal mart I believe, holds fairly well... plus it doesnt leave holes in your dash and doesnt puncture anything important under it

Here ya' go.... Motor Sports Auto, aka, zcarparts.com

In fact, here's an entire list of links to z vendors. Shop 'till you drop, and have fun doing it.

Hey thanks..this is my seventh 300...all between 84 and 88..ex old lady wrecked the previous six..lol this one is old and worn out but still running down the road...been tinkering with it and thinking about a v-8 if the 3.0 gives it up...this one has had a rough life..192000 when I failed to rehook the speedo correctly after removing the dash for a heater core install..twice..my son did it "for me " the first time for extra cash...well tookhim almost four and a half months and it leaked after he got finished...so I re did it but just slapped the dash in until I was sure it sealed right..now gotta pull it back out and reconnect some things...just want to put a new dash on it since this one is garbage...thanks again and sorry for the rambling..

after seeing that a new dash is close to a grand I'm still curious as to the quality of these dash "covers" ...My dash is split in the valley where it comes down off the guage cluster about 14 inches there and peeled up really bad...I would like to find a reasonable priced dash in good condition that I could install and put this cover on if need be...I'm not sure if these will cover mine without issues....has anyone used them for a similar issue? thanks
