I saw an RD1 tib in a parking lot this weekend. I pulled into the spot next to it, and as I got out, I looked in the passenger window and noticed the dash had some cracks in it, as did the driver side door panel. Wondering if its a common thing and if anyone else has this issue. Mine look brand new still.

 

no and I park the car outside. Still fine. But the dash discolors more than the doorpanels

 

There are a couple of small pieces on the door trim that were cracked when I got the car, other than that all is thankfully still well.

A tiny bit of basic maintenance goes a long way.

 

on most florida tibs that i've seen there's always cracks right by the door pulls and just above the door vent-... and the dash likes to pull away from the windshield defogger vents.

 

I think it comes of leaving the windows down. The UV that would otherwise be blocked by the windows kills the plastic faster. I guess eventually they will all be cracked. Then you can get a fabulous carpet dash pad or do something really custom.

 

This might explain my doors as I drive with the windows down most of the year. My dash an everything else for that mater is good but the top of my door panels are crumbling apart, not cracking.

 

My interior still looks perfect, except for the door handle trim right where the screw holds it on is cracked, and its warped a bit. thats the onlything on the inside thats cracked, dash and doors are great

Except for the obnoxious blue the previous owner accented darn near everything in... imma have to tear everything apart and either black or silver it all out (goin for 2-tone Silver/Black all around)

 

my dash cracked twice already. had it fixed twice and repainted twice also.. i think it's basically because of the heat. i live in the Philippine so i guess the heat is relatively hotter than in the US.



my dash is a has a nice matte black finish i hated the original shiny plastic of the sidings and dashboard..

 

Only the door pull and inside door handle on the drivers side have a slight crack. But that is my bad when I removed the door panel and let the wind take it away from me.

Though I have noticed that the dash is pulling away from the vents for the defroster. The only other crack is on the underside of the instrument bezel where someone over tightened the screws that hold it together.

 

No cracks anywhere in my interior. But I think that has something to do with living in Canada, and the car being parked in the garage whenever it's not in use.
