[AT] 91 dodge diesel dash cover(tractor hauler)

[Charles]

I agree with you Charlie.  Mine is not cracked from the sun.  It is busted. 
The mounting tabs are about  all broken and the bezel is broken where screws 
go thru.
It is not cracked at all where it is exposed to the sun.

I bought it at auction, but I think it may have had vandalism before the 
sale.  The damage was disclosed before the sale, but no explanation given.

Found a new bezel for it and may be able to repair the cover if I can't find 
one.  The tabs that are broken off are still stuck under the screw heads. 
As someone suggested, I may be able to fiberglass them back inplace without 
it looking too bad.

Charles
