Hey All,

I know that '97 and prior Discoverys all suffer from the peeling dash pad eventually. I've seen the "repair" kits put out by Land Rover (What a joke!). HAs anyone ever actually tried to replace the entire dash pad with the newly designed version on the '97 and later trucks? It doesn't look all that difficult to remove (Looks like you'd have to pull the passenger airbag, center stack trim mouldings and the instrument pod). Anyone know the cost of a new dash pad, and if it can be had from any of the aftermarket parts suppliers? Anyone ever attempt this?

Our truck looks great otherwise, but the peeling dash makes my wife feel like she is riding in a hoopty.... Thanx in advance..

Hey Jeepetr,

I have the same problem and thoughts about my '96 that is curling like a potato chip... Let me know what you find out and decide to do. Good luck.

The repair kit doesnt look bad at all, and you cant tell

your other option is to remove the windshield and just find some super adhesive and stic it back down.

once the repair kit is in the truck, you cant tell. Only you will look at it daily and say ugh!
knowbody else will
