The very front of the dashboard where it meets the windscreen has started peeling upwards. You cant see it from the drivers seat but outside the car looking in you can see a thin brown strip at the bottom of the windscreen.

 

Anyone else had this problem and how did you fix it?

 

cheers

If i remeber correctly they just held in by clips. one of those trim tools should get them out, or a narrow screw driver.Just go easy coz as most of you know 15-20 y/o plastic can be a bit brittle ! So long since i had a look, i've forgotton myself though. Might be totally wrong. Was gonna do our dash a year ago or so but never got round to it. Will prob only get a chance next summer now !!

If the dash is pealing around the front vents then I've got the perfect solution! It's a carbon fibre overlay that's bonded onto the stock vent parts. It is slightly larger than the vents and will thus keep the dash down. It is a stock Powertrix part and I just happen to have one in stock. It is sold on an exchange basis whereby I send you the new kit and you return your old vents. The only catch is that there is a core charge of £50. This will be returned to you once I have received your old vents and have inspected them. If all the clips and fixing points are in good working order and there are no cracks then the core charge is refunded. If there are cracks or missing clips then you loose the core charge (unfortunately). I have attached a pic below.

 

Price = £95.00 for the vents + £50.00 core charge + £11.00 postage via insured courier delivery (the parts are rather fragile).

Damn they look good. I have been looking for them for a while. I have even been trying to think of a way to make them.

 

They are expensive however so will have to think about it.

They do look good indeed! :) They can be had in either full CF livery or matt black (more of an OEM look). At the moment I've only got the CF version in stock. It's "propper" CF as well - none of the 1mm stuff. It's reinforced and bonded onto the stock vents for additional rigidity.

 

I can get these from Powertrix as part of my normal orders with them although it may take a couple of weeks to have RHD vents covered (he only stocks LHD for obvious reasons).

I wonder if a group buy could come of this. Seeing there are alot of people, including me have this problem!!??

me too :)

I would me more than happy to organise a Group Buy. This may be slightly complicated as I would require a number of good quality cores to send to Powertrix before anything can be done! But that's not an insurmountable challenge ;)
