Does anyone here know how to fix a dashboard crack. The crack is located near the defroster vent. I'm wondering if there is a way to minimize the crack or is my only option a new dashboard?

Thanks

 

Is it big? The space you're referring to is pretty small IIRC. Or is it just a little thing that will drive you nuts every time you sit in the car?

Opie, who has a scratch on his Skunk 2 shift **** that pisses him off every day

 

Its at least an inch long. and it starts from the very front to the vent. This think will probably drive me crazy because I will have to look at it everyday. I'm just wondering if there is a way minimize it or seal it with someting. Looking for a quick fix.

There is no fix for this, other than a new dashboard. A replacement dashboard (if you have a decent hookup at your local Acura Dealer) is $600. If you want the dealer to do the install, the cost will be somewhere between $600 -$800 (again, depending on your hookup).

If you have used Armor All on the defroster vent plastic; it will crack all the way through. There is no reversing this; if you have used Armor All on that area of the dash it WILL crack during the summer months. The defroster vent section appears to be a separate piece, but it is not. Therefore the only option is to replace the dash. Sorry to be the bearer of this bad news.
