Jeff D says:

Thats very nice dude. I need to do my 944 dash and all the trim inside sooo
badly.

LadyShyye says:

Thanks for posting this vid. I am in the process of fixing up my 1990
Brougham myself. My dash came out in one whole piece so I think I will be
okay to do the dash. MY problem is getting my headliner OUT. I have removed
ALL the screws and loosed the clips above the windows . The inside molding
is kinda interlocking and I’m going extremely slow so as not to break
anything. No budget to speak of but I’m trying to have my baby last a few
More years. She has some Really Bad rust that I can’t fix but I have
resigned my self to making her look pretty anyway. Any ideas of If you know
of any vids would be Greatly appreciated. Have been looking for days to no
avail and I want to finish her before the end of the month if possible. :-)

i like how this car has a solid plastic shell under that outer sheet of
vinyl or plastic dash pad. unlike my car where ill have to shave down the
high spots and fill some in, and glue over the old dash pad, nice work!

Mike Williams says:

Where did you buy the vinyl?

andre patacchi says:

Not bad my man, not bad at all. I’d be scared to try it though. Lol. Hey

SUPER NICE WORK!!

Hugo Pastora says:

Great job but …Your sister is looking for the scissors 

kevin vasquez says:

what type of glue are you using …?

Paulo Henrique Vieira says:

Great job!
I was wondering if it woul last, but, as you said, it alredy last 2 years.
A company didn’t make a good work with leather on my door panels and it
didn’t last a month. Bubbles showed up with the sun heat.
How can I solve this problem? The door panels has a lot of curves.
After watching your video, I will do the dashboard with vinyl myself.

mc o.g says:

good job .. but you know what that would not work for new cars 

the951racer says:

Great job man! I have been tossing around ideas of what I wanted to do with
my dash and this is it! You think suede would apply the same? Also, could
this same process be done to the A pillars? I have a 88 951 and the dash
cracks are killing me! 

Luis Gonzalez says:

Not bad dude I wanna do this to the inside of my 02 mustang, it never had
leather around any of the interior components just cheap plastic. Will this
work the same way ? 

Егор Фил says:

What is that??
You krazy man, it’s stupid!

Blaine Rodenbaugh says:

great job . . very informative . .people should be aware that you CAN NOT
do this procedure if there is an airbag in the passenger side of the dash.
. . . Thanks again

Kevin Krasznay says:

wow ! how did it hold up ? i have about 5 yards of this stuff in my closet
and i have been debating using it or just using alcantara 

ivantoxie says:

This is great. However my 74 Nova has a deep crack on the dash which kinda
pushes upwards at the opening.

Edgaras Kveksas says:

You done it so bad 😀 first thing you have to do take out the dashboard,
clean it very good, apply glue on dashboard and fabric, let it dry about
20-30min and then with heater pull it on, umm unless you dont whant it last
long…

James Gould says:
