Dash curling up - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

This is a 2011 model. The dash leather is literally pulling away from the windshield all the way across the dash. Anyone ever seen it or repaired it?

I repair the C4 ZR-1 dashes with this condition. You can still propably order a new one from GM for a 2011.

C6 , if its leather, its common, same on C7

You also could try to fix with windshield removal or remove dash, if you replace it go with pleather/vinyl not leather

Pretty common which is why I use dash mats. People hate me but they do their job in AZ !

Absolutely have seen it. My garage kept C6 4LT experienced the same issue a few months out of warranty. Chevrolet said sorry - should have purchased GMPP. $2,100 for a replacement leather dash, however I procrastinated and the leather dash was NLA. I replaced it with a stock dash with the intent of repairing the original - which I still have not done. They used the thinnest 'leather' I've ever encountered.

Really poor assembly job on these dashs - you can see how little adhasive was used.

As for dash removal / installation, it's pretty easy and takes about an hour each way as most everything snaps together vs. screws together.
