Consumer Description

THE FRONT DASH BOARD CRUMBLED BEHIND THE FRONT PANEL ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC WHILE PUT ON A FACING DASH COVER TO PATCH A CRACK IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.. THE DASH THAT IS PROTECTED WITH COVER IS GROSSLY CRACKED. I ALSO DRIVE 52 YEAR OLD VW BUG THAT HAS STARTED TO HAVE SOME PLASTIC FAILURE AROUND THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT NOT A SINGLE CRACK IN THE DASH AFTER 52 YEARS IN THE CALIFORNIA SUN. THE DODGE ON THE OTHER HAND FAILED AFTER JUST 9 YEARS, AND FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY. THE CRACKING MOST LIKELY HAPPENED SOONER AS I HAD A DASH COVER ON IT AND DIDN'T THINK TO CHECK UNTIL THE COVER NEED TO BE SECURED WITH VELCRO AGAIN. *TR
