Fix for saggy dash trim?
#1

I know some other people who have this problem as well: On my car, the trim piece that surrounds the gauges is sagging in the middle, down almost to touching the top edge of the

[ ! ] warning light - see dotted line below. Has a fix been devised for this?

bond a piece of more rigid plastic to the trim on the top side where it won't be seen?

Are you sure it's the plastic trim piece and not the dash itself? When I swapped in my new dash I found that the dash was causing mine to "sag," more like be forced down.

Adam - not sure about pressure from the actual dash. I can push up on the trim piece and it moves up about 1/4" fairly easily, which leads me to believe there's a gap between it and the dash. I'm thinking maybe a good sized piece of sticky-back velcro in there might stick the trim piece back up to the underside of the dash. Guess I'll have to pop the trim piece off and investigate.

I can do the same with mine, able to push it up easily. I have an extra gauge surround/vent piece if you want to swing by with the car and fit it to see if it makes a difference...I know on my old dash there was no sag.

Now you've got me wondering if I don't need a dash bra too. The car's in the shop, and I don't recall any sag in the dash, but all of a sudden I want to go look at it...

There is a small screw in the center of the plastic trim piece. If missing, it may allow the piece to sag...Just a thought. Luck
