Re: Dash cracking
Hi Gary, Mine did this also. I don't know what caused it but I drilled a 1/8" hole at the end of the crack and then filled and smoothed over with good old JB WELD. Sanded and touched up with paint. The key to stopping a crack is drilling a small hole. Been over four years and you would never know there was a problem. Good luck Mike.

Re: Dash cracking
Probably some strain was put on the glove box door after all these years. Like mentioned above, his fix should be more than sufficient.

Re: Dash cracking
Mine did that on the right side, from all the years of us kids letting the jump seat slam into it(we didn't know any better)when we got out of the back of the Suburban. I filled it with JB but it cracked again, so will drill the small hole as mentioned above, re-JB it, and go from there.

Re: Dash cracking
The correct way top repair that is to weld it not glue it. Then sand it down, prime and paint to match.
