[diesel_mercedes] Re: Cracked Dash Cover UP

 

I debated both myself. I went with the carpet and it has been one of my better moves.

I went with the felt dash covers on both cars, and have never regretted the move.

The last 240D I had came to me with the molded plastic dash cover.  It was not glued down, but still looked good.  I was able to take it off to see the condition of the dash under it.  Three cracks as I recall, none of them very bad.  I thought about trying to patch the cracks, but I wanted it to blend with the texture and color of the dash.  Never thoroughly explored that possibility.  If someone knows of a patch method that works and doesn't look like a patched pothole, I'd be interested.  I would go with the molded plastic cover.  If not glued down, it is slightly fragile.  The cover I had was torn about one inch at the right edge.
