Been away for a while .. so probably missed this topic:
My dash is warping around the defroster vents ... will take it to my local dealer as per recall .. question before I go: Is it a "fix" ( just re glue it) or a replace?
And how much damage to my car can a poor replacement do?? Kinda worried about some mechanic ripping my interior apart to fix this problem ... jj

Well the TBS calls for a "Fix" if the problem isn't severe. But if it is pulled away too far then they replace the whole dash cap. That is very involved. They have to take everything(Instruments, Switches, Vent, drop the steering wheel) out to get the whole cap off.

If done poorly you may have more creeks, pops, and general noises in the Dash area.

I just had this recall done and my dash creeks like I'm in the baja 500 all the time. Make sure they do a good job, and let them know you want it done right.

I got mine done and there are some creeks, but nothing drastic, for all I know I might of had them before but never paid attention to my dash because it wasn't warped at all yet.
