Welcome.  I can't file a complaint as my dashboard hasn't warped yet.

Nice first post. Just can't get over your spelling of Contour, in your own board name!  Mark

I know this may be a little off subject but has anyone ever seen a pre-98 Dashboard curl. My 96 doesnt have any problems. Just wondering if it is something I should worry about.

Not typically as your car has the large plastic vent panel at the base of the windsheild which also integrates the defroster vents. The problem is particular to the '99 and '00 model years especially, which have the comparatively microscopic defroster vent panel.
I entered both of my cars for the dash warp. I indicated in the description that the defroster / defogger vent pops out & visibility becomes poor under humid or rainy conditions.
Hopefully, that will get some minimal attention.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

I had mine done under recall. My original dealer did a hack job with just the rivit kit and some plate, made it worse than before.
I then took it to a buddy who worked at another dealer, and got me a new dash.
no issues as of yet, been 2 years.

Good eye, Mark. I was so impressed by the subject of a first post, that I totally missed the misspell.

The DOT should investigate the existence of the Contour itself! I still want to find the person who designed the systems on that car and punch him. 
Is my car for sale? PM me if you're in South FL.
