TEARING APART my Dash in my Chevy Tahoe and Fixing the Cracks FOR GOOD

Any ideas on how to make those cracks not so noticeable? I am not a fan of those dash caps. I am thinking of some sore of calk made for this?

Excellent video! Thank you and big props for taking the time to film, edit and post all of this. Great tutorial and excellent method. The world needs more thoughtful people like you!

I really admire the time, patience and effort you took for this project. I have a crack on my 2013 truck by the airbag as do 90% of the dashes I've seen on the road today. There is no way I would spend the time you did only to put back an inferior looking dash. Your dash was too far gone. I would bite down and spend the $500 for a new one, and reinforce the known break points with your method on the new one.

Well. Back in my younger years I did line a few cars with velvet. Looked cozy.

Pretty sad this has to be done and gm did nothing to fix this

You made that look almost easy. You have a great attitude and I appreciate the lessons learned in there too.

I wish (like everyone else) that GM would do a recall to make up for their horrific workmanship... this is the next best thing! Thank you!

True craftsman. Respect!

a real world example of how to and what to expect. Seems like a nice guy too! thanks for taking the time

Thank you so much. Im in the middle of tackling it now and following along...

I have 2 gmc yukon denali both 2009 and 2010 and the cracks i had on both is identical and matching the cracks on your truck , i have to admit that it was a tough job to pull the dash out since i love my cars and detail is important for me, so iv done the reinforcing method on my dashes , using the plastic melt welding , and then coat it fiberglass and repaint it again, the thing iv done late for the top layer was to fill the gaps , sand it and touch it with paint which i didn't like so i decided to wrap in leather. Messy job but im happy that my dashes wont rip off again. Thanks for your vid and appreciate your time.

Thanks for sharing! I'm doing this now on my 2010 Suburban and stumbled upon this. Subscribed! Thanks again!

Thanks for this...I actually found a perfect on in the junkyard then I did your fiberglass trick hopefully it keeps it strong for years to come

Excellent work! The amount of learning and sense of accomplishment with this project has to be 💯 Your video is detailed and to the point with good explanations and key points. My dash = indefinite back order. Thanks for demonstrating and explaining a great alternative. 💯

You have the patience of Job. Congratulations, Superb workmanship Sir !

I feel proud of somebody young using things responsibly and repairing stuff. If my children were like you, I’d be the proudest father.

Nice work. Looks like it turned out pretty well!!

Thanks for the video! I finally have a project to use up the other half of a fiberglass repair kit left over from a front bumper cover repair. I will gorilla tape my cracks before disassembling. And, it's not cheap American plastic, it's molded in Canada. Darn hosers! 😂

@ImChrisDeDecker This tutorial is PRICELESS. I was scared to attempt this just doing the job blind/in reverse (looking at where all the screwholes are in the replacement dash) but now I feel much more confident with this step-by-step. Now my only remaining concern is paying this arm & leg to ship this damn dash here ($200 shipping for a slab of plastic/vinyl is crazy lol smh). Thanks for posting!

Subbed right away! Really appreciate the time you put into this 👍
