Default Mine was starting...

but wasn't evident until after I pulled my dash out to do my evap core. It's basically the foam skin peeling off the plastic skeleton.

I glued mine with contact cement and clamped it:

You don't need to pull the dash to do the repair, but mine was already out.

Just peel it back a lil more, slab a lil contact cement in there, let it cure... then push it back together and put something on it to weigh it down.

Sun and Age most likely the culprits. Do you ever put any protective treatment on your dash?

Default Have the K-9 unit come in and sniff your car out...

there's more than likely a hidden baggie of crack cocaine under that dash curl =)

Default holds up fine... but...

I only did it over thanksgiving, and the car has been in the garage under covers pretty much since then.

I used basic contact cement from the local hardware store. Came in a 1 pint container and I brushed it on.
