Default Dash substructure is crumbling....

This is for the '99 in my sig. I started a thread years ago, I was hoping sooner or later the aftermarket would respond, but I can't find a response. Here's the link: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...plintered.html

Dodge said they would replace the dash cap, if I paid my dealership to replace it. The dash cap was $600, to pay the dealership to replace it was around $1300. No brainer to me, but as I pulled my dash, the plastic sub-structure was crumbling. Years later, she is again my daily driver. The dash cap is immaculate. However, my headlight switch is falling out, half the anchor points for my instrument bezel are gone and my radio is barely held by one bolt. My glove box mounts have broken off too. What do I do now?

Aside from the junkyard comment in your other thread, I can only suggest plastic epoxy. I use it a lot (for various things, not just my cars). There is a gel and a moldable putty-type. But get the stuff for plastic. Regular epoxy doesn't seem to hold as well on the plastics.
