Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics Definitive Dash Warp Kit Fix Thread

Okay, so I'm new to this board but not new to search...

I'd like to start a thread to discuss the whole dash warp fix that I currently am experiencing on a 99 Contour.

I haven't managed to find an updated or 100% accurate dash warp fix thread that either has new photos or a fix for the particular problem I'm still experiencing. So I have seen a couple things to point "noobs" in the right direction! Definitely no step by step instructions let alone a finished shot of the final product.

The one fix I saw was not clean and the other was for the dash area at the front of the speedometer cluster. I had not heard of this, but figured it's all the same glue that has come up but I'm looking for the front defroster vent "OEM" fix that Ford offers. The one thread I found for this has only bad links for the pictures. I'll gladly host photos of any pix if anyone has them of the final product, or anything related.

Has anyone done this fix recently that can provide some step by step or rough instructions? And even finished product photos or a shot of the kit parts and pieces would be great. Just trying to help out the new and old members so it doesn't come up again. Let's do this!

PS: The Threads in question are:

A newbie with a good post...and that actually searched!
Anyways, In your first thread posted, loco says he has more pics, might want to pm him and see if he still has them. This is such a common thing, I'm suprised there isn't a how-to write up on it. (I think someone attempter to awhile back, but my memory sucks) Anyway, my dash is getting to the point where I am getting mad, it's not terrible, but hopefully this summer I can tackle it.

You mean LocoGSR ?

Looks like he may have gone the way of the triple diamond

Then again i too should have a sticker that says: My other car is a DSM...

I got these dash warp instructions from the CEG forums a while ago. Actually I think it's linked in that second link you posted as well.
