im debating if i want to use a dash cover or experiement to fix my cracked dash. the dash cover i have is the one from mazda trix. does anyone have pics of their dash with a cover on it? thanks.

 

I'm curious as well. What's the deal with the guy selling the dash covers for our cars on eBay?

 

bump

 

i take it you have an 83 or earlier?

 

yeah, its an 80. why

 

i have one and it looks nice... just need to find a good wat to stick it on

 

so it goes over the existing craked dash? I have a '79 with a craked dash and want to replace it also.

 

yeah you just slide it over and glue it down...
Victoria British has black, blue, red, and tan for 39.95

if you want to order them without having to wait for a catalog (black and white)
the catalog is: RX.35
part numbers are (79-83):
Black:94-210-BL
Blue:94-210-LL
Red:94-210-RD
Tan:94-210-TN

 

Is this what you guys are talking about? This is for a '82 and I can't use it. Let me know.

 

hmm... no mine is plastic and molded to the shape of the original dash...

 

I'm confused, are we talking about a dash COVER or REPLACEMENT pad?

 

The tittle said dash cover but I think he means dash pad replacement, so I just put up the cover to see if that is what he is talking about.

 

What year is your car? There are places that make dash caps for the 81-83 models.

 

Pretty much all you know about this idea...

 

inform us please i need an actual replacement. WOOT!

 

im talking about the plastic dash cover offered at mazdatrix. i have one but i dont know if itll look good installed or if id rather try my hand at fixing the cracks myself. cause im definately not changing the dash, waayy to much trouble.

 

yeah mazdatrix has it for $80 something plus shiping and Victoria British has it for 39.95 plus shipping... your choice VB has more colors too. Mazdatrix only has black and burgundy.

 

well mine came to me free still in the bag with the glue mazdatrix sends with it when i bought my SA. the PO bought it from mazdatrix but i would have went through VB myself also, unless there was some difference, which i highly doubt

 

I need one for a 84....any place to get one?

 

****, time to get those vb catologues sent here again

 

I think that's wrong, my fall 2005 VB catalog has it for 80 bucks... I'm pretty sure all these places are getting their dash caps from the same source.

I think they should work well, I've seen walkthroughs on the web for the installs of them for other cars, I'm thinking about getting one soon.

 

i mean i think it will work very well, im just afraid it might not look too good. thats why i was hoping someone already had one installed and their car and could take a pic of it for me

 

I know how you can see how it'll look. Just slip the new pad on top of the original like your supposed to and just don't glue it untill you know it'll look good. It just goes over top of your original dash.

 

I have one on the car I just bought and I think it looks like dirt. The black is not black,its gray. The cups for the vents are not as deep and the glue is not holding. It came with the car and I dont know where it came from.

 

thanks for that info. Off the salvage yards with fingers crossed.
