Anyone got a cracked dash yet? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

not real happy right now! noticed my first dash crack and my car is garage kept. noticed it while i was standing outside the car looking in and now its the only thing i can see when i get in the car. the crack is about 2 inches long on the passenger side, left side of the airbag square on top of dash. just crossed 60k miles and it looks like the top does not come off for replacement like my 3rd gen

bout to try for a pic but may have to wait til daylight.

that sucks

Yep, just had mine replaced under warranty (28k miles), I have only seen/heard of 2 other people (now 3 including you). It seems the passenger air bag reliefs are the culprit.

Oh and yes the top does come off, don't ask me how but the dealer did it.

Did you guys use armor-all type stuff, or just kept it bare?? just curious..

Nothing unusual, no feet or anything on the dash (I would kill the passenger), and only cleaned with soap and water. That said, I live in Arizona (major temp differentials) and I don't have tint yet (darn ceramic is $500 here cause they know they can get it), and I autocross (higher chance of torque on interior parts).

I am actually surprised at how many have come out recently with this issue.

I will be checking mine ASAP

joes407 · 02-27-2012, 08:04 PM

only thing ive used on mine is the dealer provided "perma plate" conditioner. looks like armorall repackaged but not as shiny when its on there.

I see you got a 2010 time to put HUD in there when it's apart.

joes407 · 02-27-2012, 08:13 PM

no interest in the hud dust collector on my dash and i dont like the new style dash either.

TDevilsG · 02-27-2012, 08:26 PM

new style dash is infinitely nicer.
