Need an effing dash pad!

Due to the extreme temperatures this winter my dash decided to crack on me I need a new dash pad for my 92 firebird but all i ever see are the clip on covers and those carpet things. I want it brand-spanking new! yet i cant seem to find one... anyone know where i can purchase one online?

... Or would i have more luck at my local junkyard? =/

After you get yourself a good dash pad, keep the old one and change it our every winter. Since they are getting so hard to find in good shape that why I do it.

You have lot's of options. Wrecking yards, eBay, classifieds on this site, and a few on-line sites. Or, you could send your original to Just Dashes and have it recovered.

Firebird dash pads aren't hard to find or expensive like camaro dash pads. I'm sure you can get a nice used one from a junk yard, Hawks, or ebay for under a hundred bucks.

Same thing happened to mine this week Luckily I have a few stashed in the attic

As far as I know, all the dashes for the 'birds are the same from '86 and up so if you can find one for an '89 it will work just fine.

yeah ill look around, a detailer said autozone carried a pretty good sealer thing... just smush it in the cracks and put the texture pad on it and it actually works. i may just try it it cant really make it any worse... lol
