Dash pad, Fixable?

71SandbugCharger · Sep 13, 2020

Stupid me, I restored my dash and put it safely in the garage, I thought! Something rested against it, and put a good indent in the dash pad. Two places. Any ideas how to fix?

I’m going to see if the heat here in California, minus the smoke helped bring the dents out.

thanks!

I'd let it sit in the hot sun for a while. See if that relaxes it.

See if there is a " Dr. Vinyl" franchise in your area...................MO

sun and time will heal that.

Thanks all! I also watched a video that showed a heat gun or blow dryer can bring it back up.

Yes a heat gun will work but you need to watch heat you can ruin it also take your time use your hand close by and watch for the oils in the material you see that your too hot and close you can also loose your grain in the material

Sometime you can lay a wet paper towel on the indented area, use a heat gun on low temperature and it will draw the dent out. JUST BE CAREFUL
