      its only going to get worse sadly. sun KILLS dashes, kyle ( oi bird ) car had the same problem. when we did his t-top conversion we took the old dash out and it SHATTERED into a bunch of peices.once you get one crack is just goes down hill. go to a junk yard, $200 is way to much.

          This is why i always park my car in a garage or in the shade (if possible), even if it means a longer walk to wherever i'm going. If you find yourself unavoidably parking in the sun alot then you should get one of those sun shield for the windscreen.

          On a more random note: How do i find a junkyard? ... is it something you can look up in a phonebook? I've seen alot of people on here talking about getting stuff from one, but i've never seen one around where i live (although i know there must be some).

            Mine cracked too. I just bought a carpet dash cover and put on. Haven't pulled the cover off lately, but it seems just fine.

              i dont know about cali, but theres like 5 with-in 30 minutes of my house. im sure you could look in the phone book, or google. it seems like its common knowledge around here, everyone knows where some are. maybe PA is different though.
