if you wanna remove it.... its not gonna be very easy, but....there are nuts under the dash that hold it on. can t remember exactly how many, but you should be able to see most of them. they are all along the edge of where the pad mounts to the dash frame. i believe there are a couple of tricky ones in the 2 far corners of the pad. once you get those out...it should come out. there will more than likely be a lot of crap in your way to get at the nuts.
i found vinyl at the fabric store that is identical to the grain thats on the pad. i plan on just recovering mine cause it is still very flat, but has a couple of small cracks in it. you could take it to an upholstery shop once you get it out and see what they can do for you. i was gonna buy one a few years ago at the nats for 200. the more i looked at it....i realized it was simply recovered, so i passed. good luck. let us know what you come up with.
