LOL.....I know, I know. You're 100% right Rev. It
Meep-Meep,
I dig and saw through rust on almost a daily basis. I've been restoring cars for a long time and by now I do understand the lovely destructive qualities of this cancer. I don't know if you and I just have different standards my friend, but there is no way this part is going on my car. A bit of sun/moisture/oxidation in between that covering/foam and the rust, and it will most certainly be delaminating apart eventually down the road. The only way to easily remove this dash pad without removing the windshield & seal and then the dash is with a sawzall and a giant crowbar. This is one feat that I don't intend to invest my time and money on. I'm not going to take that gamble. I truely hope that you have good luck with your dash pad and also hope you don't have to deal with that doomsday senario down the road.
I am not a big fan of FeO2 either but as long as it's sealed from moisture it's not an issue. I hear what you are saying and don't doubt your experience for a minute, but in my part of the world it's pretty dry most of the time. My 68 RR sat outside, and most of the time on bare soil, since the day I got it in 1982 and it only has minor pin holes in the lower quarters and the trunk floor is peppered with holes due to a leaky trunk. Neither warrant panel replacement. And yes, it also has the factory RR rust hole in the back window corner. I suppose I should have painted the back side of the dash pad to better my odds, and may still do that, but if I don't I think it will be fine.
Sorry to see the rust, but all the Dash pad they made for those year are the same . If you not happy with JUST return it. I will get you a RMA # J-38373. and please return by US post office Regale parcel sever ice. We will get you a full refund and plus the return postage.
