Hi,

Haven't looked up the compatability of swapping the Dash, but suspect it won't be easy.

Leather coming loose from the Dash is a perennial issue for Lotus Esprit Owners (not mine because it's rarely parked in the Sun), and they have a solution which works well, is fairly easy and is permanent.

What they do is acquire a Hypodermic Syringe and use it to inject cyanoacrylate glue (Super Glue) under the leather. The syringe makes a practically invisible hole and the Glue does not build up , so the leather can be pressed smooth, just as before. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
