The Camaro Club (UK)

Well uncovered the car today ready for is summer(?) use and the dash tops cracked!! Bugga I found a couple of places in the U.S that do repair dash covers that go over the top. But my god has anyone caught the price of shipping from the U.S recently? £100 for a weightless length of plastic!!

check the ebay salvage guys, the top dash bit should still be intacked even in cars that have been front ended. Worth a try.

I saw a dash top for my 3rd gen by Coverlay at $125...........shipping $600
It´s the size, not weight and they only ship FedEx.

You would think after all these years and testing they do of parts in different climates they could make something that bloody lasts.
I bought an Opel Monza new in Germany in 1986, by 1089 the dash was just a bunch of fragments held together by dust.
I went back to the dealer but they were firm..........tough shit buddy.
I went to an upholsterer to get my cracked 3rd gen cover done in leather, he told me he had´nt got a glue that would stand up to the Spanish sun.
All the other plastic parts in cars, a couple of years and they´re all brittle losing the fixing tabs.

Fed Ex have really bumped up their prices recently and it kicks even more now the exchange rate is pants........... Thanks Mr Cameron and Osbourne

Still no joy on the dash cap front ! Tried the repair on Camaro Zone snapped into more bits trying to refit it. It is now totally foobarred !!!! $500 for a total replacement. I even phoned my arch nemesis Cut Maple !!! I've been waiting days for reply!!!!! Getting peeded off with the whole American car scene now....... A lot of money with very little enjoyment

Must be someone breaking a car that'll have one for you...

No Stu, it's been like banging my head off a brick wall! No way I'm paying the price for a new one plus the shipping cost

Have you thought about anyone that might have a regular container shipment? That would be cost effective.

I noticed the last day my car sitting in the sun and when I got in I thought I was going to pass out with the heat. Can`t be good for cheap plastics.
