Dash top cover

[James Hill-Lonergan]

Hi

Has anyone fitted one of the plastic dash top covers that fit over the existing dash top.

I wondered whether the dash top has to be removed to fit them or if it can be done with the dash top in place.

Thanks

Its supposed to fit over the top of a worn old top .....but personally ,they are not very good

I did with my mkIV, so may be slightly different. 

I had to hack some of the foam off the front (ie under the screen) of the original dash to get it in, still quite tight. But as my dash was cracked, it has made a huge visual improvement. 

I will be speaking with a mk3 owner who used one, so will enquire how that went.

I obtained one ,and finished up throwing it away. I then bought some aerosol expanding foam ,stripped the old vinyl from the dash top,sprayed the offending gaps and cracks etc and then ,after sanding down, stuck new vinyl on the dash top. Worked a treat
