Rallye Dash Resto

67bluefish said
Has anyone had success reattaching the corner of their dash trim near the glovebox, the piece that seems to break off for all of us? (Thanks for the help Dad, couldn't have done it without you!)

I realize I can send my dash out to have one of several places do the surgery, but I'm just wondering if the surgery is something that's easy enough to do at home. Melt the plastic just so, align and set, right? I'm guessing the skill is in the "just so" and "align" areas...

Anyone have experience with this?

You could fix it with a plastic welder but... restoring the detail/contours takes time. Any flaw in a chromed area is amplified by the chrome finish. ( my custom bezel no longer has the "fish poop" screw there. Different fastener employed )
It's the passenger side seat back that breaks the bezel there. Those hinge points can be tightened up so the seat back doesn't move so easy and hit so hard and/or often.
