Default Dashes cracked Help!!!!

I read on this forum that the dash I need is made in-house , the woodgrain one ,
( mariah Z202 1999 ) now mine is cracked , is there any way too get one????
I only need the curved woodgrain part
Mine looks like it is used in the new models after 2001???

Dashes:
-Dashes, pre-97 (large 3 sided square ones)
Paramount Plastics, Inc.
Elkhart, IN
www.paramountplastics.com
(I have confirmed they only produced the dashes up to 1996-97, when they "stopped doing business with Mariah")

-Dashes, post-97 (curved molded ones, with woodgrain finish) were created in-house at Mariah with a vacuum formed plastic mold

    NOPE, unfortunately there's no place you can get a replacement.... you can only get it repaired.... And let me be the first to tell you it's not easy, and one mistake can ruin your whole dash. It was a winter project of mine....

    Can you post a photo of your dash?

    The curved wood grain dash was only used from 1998-2001, when Mariah went out of business. The dashes used in 2002+ Mariahs were completely redesigned by Sea Fox, the company that now produces Mariahs.


    EDIT- I forgot about the small clusters. I don't believe they are available anywhere either.

    Yep, those were made in-house at Mariah also. Although I will admit, I didn't research into that design, chances are, you'll have to have it repaired by a plastic repair facility.
    However, there could be a possibility that Sea Fox used the same dash in their early models, you might try dropping them a line to see. Be sure and tell them how similar your dash looks to their early models like the 2003 SX20, and include a photo so they can visually see it.

    Give Stewart a call, he might be able to point you in the right direction.
