I have a fine hairline crack or split along my dashboard that starts from the upper area where the speedo is. it goes all the way to the top of centre console. after much inspection there are lots forming from the corner of the console and near the aircon vents. an uncle of a fren has similar cracks but starts from the area above the glove box.... apparently the vinyl material used by toyota cant stand the heat of an afternoon sun here in the tropics. its bugging me...is this a common factory fault? yup. have a look at the pics. looks like an 8 richter just went thru my dashboard...its bugging me a lot so i sealed it off with 1ton glue...and carefully removed the excess glue..looks ok... http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p181 ... C02518.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p181 ... C02517.jpg still hate that feeling of imperfection... but is this caused by vibration or heat? both? i thought toyota's quality is topnotch..i was wrong. esp since my waranty expired a yr ago... And i never even went offroad at all![/img] ok thanks! that's one similar case. anyone else has this? worse is that i just bought the car off someone and have been driving it for only 3 weeks..and this problem popped up... i suspect too its vibration as the cause. but the type of roads i drive is just normal gravel roads, a bit uneven but nothing too 'offroady'.. i'm getting some vinyl repair kits off ebay and see if it works... in the meantime i have patched the cracks with some putty glue but there are still visible gaps around it. Toyota should have uprated the dashboard a bit knowing that its a 4x4 that most ppl will use on uneven and rocky roads...upset about this... Did you get the vinyl repair kit for the dash problem that you were having in March. If so, did it work and what was the result like? I have the same problem. I believe it is caused by the heat although we do drive mostly on very rough unsealed dirt roads (90% of the time). We are in the middle of a particularly hot summer. Please let me know how you went. Mick Hi Guys, I have the same problem here in Alice, As I have suspected for a while it is heat related as it can get extremely hot here in summer, Inside or out of the prado :shock: Mine is cracked in the same as you guys. Any solutions on fixing the cracks let me know. Cheers Nathan I find if the vehicle rear end is facing the afternoon sun rather than side on or nose to the west it is at it's coolest to climb into. Maybe that might ease further situations. Actually heat has a partner in crime which is dust . Dust which builds up on the dash absorbs the moisture out of the dash which combined with heat causes the cracking, thats what my mate who is in the auto repair business said to me when I brought my brand new car. His advice was keep the dust off the dash. If this is fact or fiction who knows but I haven't had a crack dash yet...touch wood :wink: Zapper The 2004 Toyota 4Runner has 26 complaints for cracked dashboard.
