Dash Repair

[Luke_Miller]

I need to have my dash repaired. I called the local Ford Dealer and I was quoted $810 for the job. $110 for repair kit and $700 for labor. Does that sound about right? Is the job really that hard, i.e. to hard for a relative beginner to do it? TIA.

I was quoted $75 for the dash repair kit (for dash warp) and I think some one had said some where on here said that the labor was only about $150 or less. I don't have the exact number for the kit, but I might have it written down some where.

That price sounds about right for a stealership.

Order the kit from Team Ford and DIY or find another shop.

Save yourself some money and do it yourself. It really isn't all that hard from the looks of it, just looks time consuming.

God what a pain in the ass, you can nearly put in a whole new dash with all that work.

They don't want to do the work. It isn't a particularly fun job, but that much labor is way out of line.

Do it yourself and save a bundle.

Another option would be to grab the trim piece that runs across the edge of the dash on a Mystique and install that to fix the dash warp. I'll look for the thread about that method...I don't think anything had to be removed (dash or windshield) to do it.

Except it looks like a hack job like that.

The 95-98.5 dash trim is fitted for THAT dash but will never look the same mounted on a 99-00 dash.
