dash finally fixed

Its most commonly refered too on this site as the stealership. Not because of this one issue. The dealer is usually a lot more expensive for parts than they should be. When I needed the trim screws to hold the door on, they wanted 6.35 each and there is 11 per door. oh, and the extened cab ones too... ( i forget how many) * 2 for both sides = mega mega amounts of money. Another time I checked on coilsprings. They wanted 300 dollars / coil spring when you can get a pair of lift springs for less than that. Just stuff like that.

pcfixerpro hit the nail on the head with that one just another quick example for you... my step-dad recently had to purchase an interior part for a 97 monte carlo (I know I know chevy ew) dealer wanted around $235 he looked around and ended up gettin the same part for $25 now that is the definition of a thief.

i got 25 from a body shop (all he had) for 3$. since i was doing all the speakers i needed a lot more than that so i got on ebay and found some for a ford that were the same size/style. i got 2 bags of 25 for 4$ each with shipping. when i got them i found out that they are the same size on the outside but the center piece that the ribs hold on to was too big so put a slice in them down the center with a band saw and they fit perfect.
i just did the math.
those little plastic clips from the dealer: 154$
similar clips on ebay that work just as well: 8$
Exactly. I want a refund. I also am having my newer one crack around one bolt hole. I put superglue on it and you can't really see it. I noticed it's also cracked one other place behind the black bezel where it snaps in. Piece of crap dashes. I already replaced this thing once almost 2 years ago. That's not that old.
The dust might actually help by forming a barrier between the dash and the UV rays.
alright fellas as promised I made the call to get that number again 1800-992-1997, that is the customer service number for chrysler. When I called they asked for my vin and wanted me to explain the extent of the damage then ya get a file number, the guy I eventually got in touch with was mike in Detroit. Hope it works out as well for you guys as it did for me.
