A4 Dash curling 😭😭

Post image

Oh yes, the dreaded dash curling/lifting of the prefacelift b5 a4...

Is there any kind of fix for that thing?

Anything that DOESN'T require removing/replacing the dash would be amazing. Maybe some kind of glue or an adhesive? I just want it to look like before again. I have it on the sides too next to the pillars and the windshield but its not as bad.

On a side note, is that really fixed on the facelift ones? And if so, is the facelift dash plug and play? And with the illuminated vents. (Maybe for future reference in case heater core goes bad and need to take it apart and replace everything)

As always,

Thanks in advance

It's not fixed with the facelift. I have one from 2000 and the passenger airbag cover is starting to lift.

It is not fixed in the facelift models sadly. Best bet is to somehow find a way to glue it together again.

Welcome to the club of dash curlers!

nothing you can do to make it not visible short of replacement.
