You are right, I've never heard any complaints about the dash cracking or splitting and never seen it, even on wrecks I've seen with interiors that have been exposed to all sorts of nasty weather. I'm sure the titanium windshield on the upper models (that the majority seem to be) helps, but also the dash material must be quite crack resistant.

What kind of cars do you see this problem on frequently? I noticed before you were working on a high end car, is this a common problem on unexpected models?

I havn't seen to many Nissans with cracked dash's but it seems that the euro cars (Volvo, Mercedes, Jags, ect.) have very hard plastic interiors that are breaking all over the place. I havn't seen a Subaru with a cracked dash since the old L series.

I didn't exactly mean my shop. Technically it's my freinds dads shop but me and him are the only ones who work there, so it's maybe 1/4 mine. We work on every damn thing that comes thru the door from MG, old VW's, Motorhomes, tractors, lawnmowers, hell we even have spare Renault motors.

Thanks for the offer, if I get stuck with one I know who to call. We really don't need the extra work or agravation tho. As far as the big money goes, this ain't Cali.

what does crack is ....

I've noticed...that in the back window that little piece of plastic that houses the windshield wiper part....that it gets weathered and dried out, which makes it easy to crack or crumble.
