I just had my front seat recovered. While the seats were out I pulled the old carpet and installed new carpet. I got the new carpet from LMC Trucks. It's not as well made as the original--if you can save your original carpet, do so.
Anyway, Now that the Interior is looking (and feeling) better, I'd like to do something about my cracked dash. Has anyone found a really good dash pad?
I just looked at Coverlay, and they seem to have one made from ABS. You glue it in place with silicone.

 

The Coverlay item you refer to appears to be a glue-on dash-top cover. If you're asking about a replacement "dash top" or "dash pad", the only choices I'm aware of are from LMC Truck and Geno's Garage. I have not used either, but I think the Geno's item gets a little more love on the other forum I'm on.

 

Thanks. I didn't think to get a replacement dash when I had my heater core replaced. It would have been the perfect time to do it.
I won't order from LMC again, after the carpet experience. LMC advertises the carpet for the 1994 thru 2001 Dodge as, "MOLDED CARPET. LOOKS AND FITS LIKE THE ORIGINAL." That is complete horse puckey. What I got from LMC was just a flat piece of carpet with a little bit of padding under the front 30% of the piece, and a heel protector heat-welded onto the carpet. It wasn't molded at all, and it needed substantial trimming at the front and also sides. The original Dodge carpet is amazing. There is a 1/8th inch, black, rubber under layment under the entire OEM carpet, and real padding under all of the carpet, plus the carpet itself is thicker. To compensate, I bought some adhesive-backed "Freeze King" insulation from the local lumber co., and laid it down all over the floor before I put the LMC carpet down.

 

Thanks for the carpet quality info and the padding/underlayment tip. I'm surprised the LMC offering is such a poor replacement - to not have any molded shaping is pretty poor.

 

I replaced my dash with the Geno's option, a little spendy but worth it. I also did a littler clean up with the dremel around the heat vent holes for a cleaner finish....not too big of a job to replace, just dealing with 20 year old plastics all around....

 

Thanks guys. I ended up ordering the one from Coverlay.

 

I'll have to ask the shop that replaced my dash where it came from. It looks like the original but is nowhere near the quality. Doesn't fit down the same, vent louvers could all use some trimming/deburring and the finish is much shinier than OEM. It was aftermarket because they were quoting crazy prices for an OEM replacement. I would have preferred to shop around, but part unavailability and needing a working heater ASAP prevented that.

 

I can relate Justin. When I needed to get my heater core replaced, I didn't think about replacing the dash until it was too late.

 

I’m very pleased with my LMC dash. Color and finish was dang near identical to the OEM dash

This is the dash installed. I hadn’t put on the new Dorman instrument bezel at that point
