Description
Fix your 07-13 Silverado LS/LT/Work Truck or Sierra SL/SLE/Work Truck dashboard with a molded plastic dash cover from DashSkin! This cover is molded to the exact shape of your vehicle's dashboard, and mounts right over the top to cover cracks and holes. The cover spans both halves of the two-piece dashboard as one solid piece, making the finished product super stealthy and hard to detect for passengers. The cover requires no special tools to install, and mounts using silicone adhesive (included). The workmanship of the cover is warranted for life against cracking, warping, etc. DashSkins even work great with large pieces of dash missing, as long as there is enough dashboard left on all edges (perimeter) to serve as a stable and level foundation for the cover. If you have cracks you will be covering, we advise cleaning your original dashboard well with degreaser, and bracing any cracks using 100% silicone RTV adhesive to prevent further cracking or rattling. (scroll down to purchase an extra tube if you need it for lots of cracks in your dash, or if you have holes you'd like to outline with adhesive). IMPORTANT: THIS COVER ONLY FITS CERTAIN TRIM PACAKGES OF SILVERADO AND SIERRA TRUCKS! It is compatible with 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Silverado LS, LT, and Work Truck trims, and 07-13 Sierra SL, SLE, and Work Truck trims (in other words, only fits DUAL GLOVEBOX style dashes). If you have a Silverado LTZ or Sierra SLT/Denali, check out our part numbers 0714GM and 0714GMS.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO PIECE KIT AND THE ONE PIECE DASH COVER?
Our one-piece design is ideal for customers looking for the stealthiest, most seamless possible finished product. The one-piece blends in a little better since it lacks the gap between the two pieces, and it can be used in situations where you are missing more of your dash and have holes to cover. The two piece kit on the other hand allows for easy removal of the front defrost section (to replace the ambient light sensor). When in doubt, go with the one piece! You won't regret it, as it is quicker to install, a little more cost effective, and looks killer all said and done!
HOW TO HELP STOP ANNOYING RATTLES: If your dash is rattling or sqeaking, using EXTRA silicone adhesive in all of the cracks can help make a huge difference! Apply the first tube of silicone that is included with the cover to the underside of the skin just like the instructions specify, then use your extra adhesive (purchased from us or at any hardware store, 100% silicone RTV adhesive) to apply directly to the dash itself to fill all cracks with a thick bead of silicone, and outline any holes (if you have holes) with the silicone just before installing the cover. We don't recommend allowing this to cure first, apply the skin while all of silicone on the cracks is still wet so the cracks bond to the underside of the skin, this way the cover can help hold everything still like a membrane of support. If you have rattles coming from underneath the dash, obviously this surface treatment will not help stop those noises, but for the vast majority of our local installs, this little trick works extremely well! NOTE: If the clips under your defrost dash panel (nearest the windshield) are broken, be sure to consider applying some silicone to the broken clips as well to hold that piece still, this can be a hidden source of rattles as well.
A WORD OF ADVICE: If you have not already brought your vehicle to a GM dealer for the Takata airbag recall replacement, we recommend doing so before installing your skin.
Why DashSkin?
What makes ourĀ AMERICAN MADEĀ product worthĀ the higher price compared to the flood of imports?
1.Ā SUPERIOR MATERIAL AND BUILD QUALITYĀ - Our product is made of high quality, thickĀ ABS plastic, which is well-suited for covering large gaps of missing dashboard sectionsĀ without failing. The competition uses thinner, lower quality polypropylene plastic because it is a much cheaper materialā¦but PP is much more likely to warp during periods of intense sun abuse. Our product is trimmed via CNC for ultra-accurate edges that look OEM and blend in; the competition trims by hand, leading to wavy and inconsistent edges and openings.
2.Ā FACTORY MATCHED COLORSĀ - Our colors are OE-matched for a sleek, factory looking finish.Ā Sometimes our matches can land a little lighter or a little darker than your dash depending on fade, but you can count on it being close enough to blend in so well that your passengers won't notice it's there!
3.Ā VEHICLE-SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONSĀ - All of our products include vehicle-specific color instruction guides that cover every step of the process in great detail. Most of our catalog also has full length install videos as well!
4.Ā KNOWLEDGEABLE AMERICAN SUPPORTĀ - A real life American human is just a phone call, text, or email away to assist with any and all questions you might have about your project! Just click the Contact Seller button as if you wish to send us a message, and eBay will display our phone number to the bottom right of the text box.
5.Ā SUPPORT AMERICAN MANUFACTURINGĀ - 100% of our research, development and manufacturing takes place in the UNITED STATES, and we are committed to keeping it that way! We hope you will consider this when deciding where to send your hard-earned money. America's manufacturing base evaporates a little more each day thanks to the race-to-the-bottom mentality of overseas manufacturers, and the power to stop that problem lies only in the hands of you, the buyer.
We are passionate about producing a high quality product that solves an expensive problem for everyday drivers, and hope you will contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for taking the time to read this!Ā
