Hmm, should I tell you how to fix the peeling around the instrument cluster after you insult my car like that?
I guess until you see one in person you'll never open your mind enough to realize that it really is a good fix to the problem. And unlike the hack jobs you keep talking about, this one is permanent.
BTW, to fix the peeling around the instrument cluster (AND AROUND THE GLOVE BOX) you will use rivets. Pull the dash material tight, drill a hole, install rivet, repeat. Be careful around the instrument cluster not to drill too deeply or you will penetrate the top of the dash; starting in the center above the cluster will yield the best results. When doing the glove box it is possible to install the rivets in such a way that they won't show--using masking tape mark where the location of the topmost part of the box side and install the rivets below this point.
