Default DISCO I Dash 'curling'

95 DiSCO 158,000 ish..

Need some direction on repairing the dash from the 'sun caused curling'. Has anyone tried a fix that is still holding on ?? I have touched base with the dismantlers and for the cost and shipping issues with airbag etc. I'm going to repair myself. Initially I'm thinking gorilla glue and bar clamps etc....

Any thoughts???

There is a kit that cost around $27. I think BP or AB has them for that much. The kit contains a matching color retainer that screws down the curl.....

Nope. It's in TN and I'm in Alabama this week. It's curling has affected the 'housing' holding the speedometer, etc.

WARNING!!!! DO NOT BUY FROM BP UTAH! THAT GUY IS FAKE! REASONS: I bought a brand new radiator (so I thought) from him back in late August 2011. In late october I noticed I was leaking anti freeze on the floor. I did a pressure test and surely enough, my radiator was CRACKED on the bottom right side by the pipe that extends to the hose that goes to the water pump. I called BP utah and he said tough $hit he doesn't have to warranty parts if he doesn't want too. I eventually was able to get him to send me a new one (also thought it was new) (he made my pay for the " 2nd new one" before he would send me it. I also had to pay shipping which is $50 each way. He said he would credit it back when he got the cracked one back. Seems somewhat fair but I should NOT have to pay shipping. That is his problem. Well I complained and was able to split the $50.00 with him. I waited for it to come and finally it showed up......WAIT FOR IT... it was..........cracked...... It was also peeling, the bottom was rusty, scratched and had chunks of crud in it. I called him up and he told me I was a liar! That the radiator was NOT cracked because he "hand painted it" and it "wasn't cracked when he fixed it" I said WTF??? YOU FIXED IT??? YOU SAY YOUR SELLING NEW ONES ON YOUR WEBSITE! He said "uhh well welcome to America, its not all what it says. " He called ups and said that ups damaged it. UPS said they didn't but would return it to Utah free of charge. I called visa and disputed the charges. They said okay well this is funny because this isn't the first time we have heard of this "bp utah" scamming people! I got my money back because visa did a FORCED reverse on the account. The next day I get a call from THE SAME GUY at BP utah and he tells me how I ruined his credit for the company and how he will have to pay $800.00 to visa otherwise they will stop allowing him to accept visa! THAT'S A RED FLAG. I ruined his credit??? I have never received that from Atlantic British when something broke, it was simply an "okay, what happened?? me"....." Atlantic British "no problem buddy, a new one is on its way!" I have contacted the BBB in Salt Lake. ALSO ODD: He is running this "business" out of an apartment in Cotton Wood Heights, which is a real pristine area. Do you find it odd that he is running this out of an apartment? SHOUT OUT TO DISCO MIKE FOR HELPING ME WITH THIS, THANK YOU!
