My dash has finally began to crack, even with my molded carpet dash cover :(

I remember seeing something on here about a plastic cap that is glued onto the oem dash that is cracked as long as the oem isn't cracked too bad..? Is this true?

If so can someone please paste a url

Attached is the current state of my dash.

Thanks guys!

Yea. Google ram dash caps. Yours is in good enough shape that it will hold up well. They have color matching and all the works

My reasoning for not glueing was On occasion i like to get behind my dash or pull it to replace something. or if something went wrong back there I wanted to be able to remove it with ease. I tucked it behind the little air bag slits and it holds itself in place.

I've removed it a few times, for the overhead computer a few days ago to run a ground, and to check on heater core. I feel I am missing a few.

Way to think ahead! When you get a chance, can you post up some pics of how you keep the dash cap in place? Thanks!

My heater core is shot, and so is my dash.. I doubt I'll be able to get away with just a cover. Dodgetx that looks pretty damn good!
