No. I dont think they give a rats *** about my dashboard (or me ever buying another 1 of their products ever again).
Im beyond that in the decision flowchart. Just trying to find instructions for how to replace the dash on my own (since I wont pay GM a single penny more).
I spoke with a awesome dealer today in Atlanta - Capital Cadillac. A guy in service named Scott was really helpful. He said they arent having issues at all with the Escalade dashes, because they are leather covered.
Which leads me to wonder if it would be somehow better to contact a trim shop, like Love's Trim shop, or similar. Have them stitch in a sewn cover that looks like it belongs. Maybe that is the right way to fix this.

Can a Caddi dash cover fit in a Tahoe w/o doing the whole dash assembly?

Late reply here. Well according to Scott at Capital Cadillac in Marietta, GA, the Escalades are not having the dash cracking issue. And yes you can use a dash cover, but it doesnt look very good since it wont mate with the lower portions of the panel flush, it will be sitting out by the thickness of whatever cover you stick in there.
Does anyone here have removal/replacement instructions for the dash ? Mine is nearly cracked in 2 now.
I need to figure something out.

Take a look at this and see if it is explanatory enough and let me know...

Thanks I will take a look, lots of references to other removal instructions, doesnt look fun and will probably result in lots of expensive trim breaking...

I'll see about putting all the items that need to be removed like the radio bezel, the solar sensor etc all in one place in the DIY section of the forum...
