hey there...new owner here...i see i came in a little late to this discussion, but here's by $0.02
bought my svt 8/10/01; heard about dash problem 8/14/01 from this website and immed. took it into local Ford dealer (not where i bought it)

one day to diagnose problem (i claimed that the dash was peeling near windshield (<1" in some places).
less than a week for part to come in ($666.67 but free to me); took 2.5 days to get it back (i think i was the guinea pig); new dash with that black strip molding piece near windshield. i'm taking it back because the installer did not put the HVAC bezel back too securely and there is now a big gap between dash.

Was told by dealer that if it happens again...they'll have to fix it again until time limit runs out.

hope this helps somebody
