A Permanent Solution for Repairing Your Car's Dashboard with Coverlay Covers

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Dashboard

Video tutorial

In this interesting video, we will see how to perfectly and permanently restore our damaged dashboard with Coverlay covers, which can be found on the pelicanparts website. We need to type in the model of our vehicle.

Prices are in USD, and we must also account for shipping costs from the United States. Clean the old dashboard thoroughly, especially in the seams and corners.

If the original dashboard is fragile, handle it carefully to avoid crumbling, paying special attention to the airbag area. First, place the cover to see how it fits.

The video dedicates a specific section to installing the passenger side airbag cover, which must be positioned carefully to avoid interfering with its deployment in case of an emergency. Recheck everything and ensure that everything is perfectly aligned before applying the silicone: better to use a little but well distributed.

Position the Coverlay and press firmly. Be careful not to lift it once placed, otherwise the silicone will lose adhesion, and leave it to dry for 24 hours.

If there are any raised points, you can fix them with a bit of silicone or targeted pressure. The advantages of Coverlay are that the dashboard looks new, it is not a patch, and if installed correctly, it stays in place for years; it covers any damage such as discolouration, cracks, and scratches.

We must be very careful around the airbag area, use quality silicone, and always align the cover before applying silicone.
