There i was cleaning the dash when that annoying corner crack completely broke free....
After a great deal of thought, i concluded the only way to fix the problem was to introduce a faux leather trim to hide it altogether..
So I sent off for some 20mm leather tape and adhered some very strong 19mm double sided adhesive tape to back....seems to have worked.

That's a neat solution a sour surround is getting the same way, but also there are precious few fixings left, most are stripped or the plastic around them has fallen apart with age
any particular web-site for the sticky/fake leather stuff, & which sticky tape, as loads out there!

Sure,The faux leather was from eBay item number:261638722332 and the double sided tape was from B & Q. There are 2 types, 1 Blue and 1 Red,the red being the extra strong one.
The only fly in the ointment is the tape is white so i had to use a black ink marker just on the edges while still rolled up before applying and thats it....good luck..
