Default My buckled dash.

Its been a few weeks since I have driven my Corvette, so last night I thought I would take it for a ride. It has been hot and dry as hell here in Greenville SC for about 7 weeks now. I sat down in my car, turned it on, and noticed that damn dash above the glove box had buckled up almost to the windsheild and the padding on the glove box was doing the same. Now I probably should be banned from Corvettedom since I don't have a garage for my car, and I am sure that this is sun damage. Does anyone have any clue on how to fix this, or am I looking at a new dash and glove box door. I went immediatly and bought a car cover and a windsheild cover for my car and then spent the rest of the night sick. If anyone knows a fix or has been through this themselves, I would like some feedback.

Thanks!

there's a thread about this very thing here some where. Do a search for "dash". It has a lot of good info in it. Good luck with it. Cheers

[:@]Your not welcome here now get off this forum and sell your car..[:@]No garage. Who do you think you are??!!??





















Just kidding. We have a 2 car garage and mine sits outside. To much trouble pulling it in and out. Plus I backed into the door rail three times already and it made a few marks...Ill let it stay outside under a nice shady tree.

Thanks BlueShark for the reply, I will look at it. I did some minor sugery on it Saturday and for the most part got it back together with some adhesive glue. I had to take the glove box door off. The new cover I bought is keeping the car nice and cool now too, so hopefully this won't happen again.
