Default Any ideas with dash top repair

Any input appreciated on this fellas:

On the last replacement of windscreen, the bodyshop unfortunately 'altered' the front edge of my dash top. What's the remedy here?......does anyone offer a 'surface cover' to hide this....or am I looking at searching for & sourcing that part of the dash......and significant time for install........TIA.

BTW.....what you are seeing there is several (poor) attempts with 'repair' products......a waste.

I had several cracks on my dash from heat (car is originally from LA). There is a vinyl repair guy in my area that a dealer referred me to when I was looking to get it fixed. I don't know what the process involves but my dash now looks like new and it cost me under $100. Ask a dealer in your area for a reference. Good luck.

You have a leather dash - I don't know how you would repair it. Mine seperated a little so I just got a dashmat.

Right - didn't notice but that would complicate things...maybe a car upholstery place...
