That right is why Im not doing the GM dash replacement (even if they did pay for it). They havent admitted there is even a problem , therefore they havent taken steps to correct it.
It would cost you less to have a decent trim shop cover the dash in a textured vinyl then to replace with another GM dash which would crack again.

I'm on my 3rd dash. The problem with having a trim shop cover the dash is that the problem is much deeper than the crack. The crack is a symptom of the structural connection points breaking that attach the dash to the body. When the connection points break, the dash flexes and then cracks. Before each of my cracks appeared I found bits of plastic and clips on the floor. Before my second replacement the dash was so loose I could pull it out a few inches and move it around.
Perhaps we can machine some corrected mounting structure pieces to rectify this issue.
Have you pulled your dash 3 times, yourself ? If so, do you have a step by step procedure for this ? I am getting ready to do this myself, would appreciate any assistance.
If you can provide details regarding what is needed to correct the mounting structure of the dash, we can build them for you to try out. It would be nice to solve this problem.

It is a huge job to remove the dash. When the dealers first started doing them it was 8 hours although they said they got a little faster the more of them they did. My Service Manager showed me one that they had fully disassembled the last time I was in and it looked like a substantial job. Of course if you want to try to solve the problem that may be the oly way to do it.

hello,
I as well noticed the other day as I was driving my wife's 2010 Yukon SLT through my paved work parking lot that my dash sounded like it was vibrating and rattling. I looked up there and noticed 2 cracks in the notorious top left corner of the airbag and the right side of the hump. This vehicle is 4 yrs old with 80k. This vehicle is always parked in the garage and never seen a gravel road (this is how its taken care of. And Never ever on any of my vehicles do I use armour all because I hate the greasy look. Will GM cover this cost since it's so common? Obviously these are stress points because there's no support behind the middle section inbetween the cracks.
