My fiancee has a 1976 Maverick we're in the process of fixing it. its not in bad conidtion it runs great its just inside cosmetic issues. The dash has had a dash pad on it since he bought it in 2005. BUT the dashpad is literally black from being burnt by the sun and has 4 or 5 different cracks. we are wondering if that is an alternative to putting a new dash pad on there or if there is a way to keep one from burning and cracking?
Here is a good alternative to replacing it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/70-77-Ford-Maverick-Mercury-Comet-Dash-Pad-Cap-Overlay_W0QQitemZ400050788075QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item5d24e296eb&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318
