Default How to fix a small dent in RSX dash


See update below.



For reference only, not my dash. You know how there are the two different materials? Well I must have pushed too hard on the rubber like material while using armorall. I ended up with a slight indentation on the very back of the rubber material but before the second material and just to the right of the gauge cluster hump. Is it easy to remove that part of the dash and pop out the dent?

Can you get pictures? You may need to ask some type of interior specialist as we are just going to tell you what we "think" you should try. Black interior?

Huh, could you try like circling the area, or taking a picture. I really can't think of any ways of fixing a dent in the dash that does not require the removal of the dash assembly.

I tried to take a picture but it's not visible with a camera.

You could try taking out the underdash where your knees go and use a stick or pole to push from the bottom. The only problem is I am not sure how much the gauge cluster will get in the way.

Another thing you could try is to take out the gauge cluster to see how far you can getyour hands in there. You may be able to get some leverage and pop it that way.

Let us know how it turns out bud... Good luck sir.
