Description
Restore the refined look of your Mercedes-Benz W116 interior with a DashSkin molded dash cover, engineered for 1973–1980 S-Class models including 280S, 280SE, 280SEL, 300SD, 350SE, 350SEL, 450SE, 450SEL, 500SE, and 500SEL. This precision-molded overlay installs directly over your cracked or sun-damaged original dash to deliver a clean, professional finish in minutes—without the expense or complexity of a full dash replacement.
Formed from UV-stable ABS plastic, the DashSkin cover provides long-term protection from heat and sunlight while maintaining its form and color. The molded fit follows every contour of the original dash, ensuring complete coverage and a factory-quality appearance once installed. It’s available in four configurations to match your vehicle’s layout—choose versions with or without a climate sensor opening and with or without dash speaker perforations.
Installation is quick and simple: clean the dash, apply the included silicone adhesive, and press the DashSkin cover into place. No removal or special tools are required. Once cured, the result is a durable, permanent overlay that restores your S-Class interior and protects the original dash from further deterioration.
Proudly made in the USA and backed by DashSkin’s lifetime warranty, this molded dash cover is the smart, lasting solution for preserving your Mercedes’ interior elegance.
FAQ
All DashSkin dash covers are backed by a LIFETIME WARRANTY, covering products that are installed properly. This warranty covers cracking, warping, and any failure related to extreme temperature and sun damage. Exceptions to this warranty include dash covers that have not been installed yet, dash covers that have been placed into the vehicle but not glued (not installed properly), or dash covers that were installed with an unapproved adhesive (as many adhesives can react with and melt ABS plastic).
40F is the coldest recommended temperature, our adhesives will not fully harden in temps below this. Remember to allow for additional cure time (up to 12 hours) for installing in temperatures this low! Our 100% silicone RTV adhesive uses ambient humidity in the air to cure, so the colder and drier the air is, the more time the silicone will need to fully harden.
In warmer temperatures (60+F) we recommend at least 6 hours. In lower temps (down to 40F) we recommend at least 12 hours.
We ship SAME DAY Monday-Friday until 3pm CST via FedEx Ground and Home Delivery, you can expect delivery in 2-4 business days on average! Shipments to Canada can take 2-7 business days. Please note that these estimates increase during peak holiday traffic.
We recommend cleaning with a wet microfiber cloth only. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR SOLVENTS ON THE TOP SURFACE OF THE SKIN as they will strip the paint.
While we typically receive excellent feedback on our color matches, you should be prepared for the match to be a little lighter or darker than your dash. The amount of sunlight vehicles are exposed to can vary substantially, making matching these vehicles a "moving target" so to speak. For this reason, DashSkin offers our dash cover paint in AEROSOL form to make it easy for you to spray other dash components to match your DashSkin for the stealthiest possible install! You can add an aerosol can to your order during checkout
If your order arrives damaged, contact us within 14 days of arrival for a replacement! Email us (customerservice@dashskin.com) or text (918.940.8900) photos of the damage and any damage to the box for an immediate reship. Please do not dispose of the damaged item before being instructed to, as FedEx may need to pick it up for inspection.
DashSkin covers are surface painted with a high quality, UV protected finish that will not flake, peel, or fade. We also sell this paint in aerosol form for your other interior components as needed to match them to the skin and restore the look of your interior!
DashSkin covers are fully protected and warranted against extreme UV abuse, so no additional coatings or treatments are required. We do not recommend applying protectants, as anything with a solvent base can remove the paint.
NO. DashSkin is a rigid, molded plastic dash cover meant to install OVER your old dash to cover cracks and holes. While you can use a DashSkin with a lot of your dash missing, the product cannot be used in place of a dash, as it needs structure to mount to.
