Instructions for Repairing Dashboard Cracks

Model: Mercedes Clk A208, W208, C208 - Years 1997-2003
Part: Dashboard

If there is a crack on the dashboard caused by the ageing of the covering, you can consider restoring it with paintable silicone (non-acetic) trying to colour it as closely as possible to the dashboard itself; once the "paste" is prepared, apply it into the crack, ensuring to fill it adequately while removing the excess with a damp sponge; another solution could be to obtain a leather touch-up kit, preferably in a colour that matches the interior.
