hey guys i noticed a couple of days ago that my passenger side dash is starting to bubble. there is 3 big long bubbles ( 2 inchs long and half an inch wide) all that was sitting there was one of my clean work hats. some of local trucks started to bubble but no near as bad as mine.

did this happen to you?

and what should i do?

Buy a dash cover (fabric type) to cover the bubbles unless you want to replace the dash. You could also take it to a shop that repairs vinyl and leather upholstery and ask them what they can do with it.

What type of material is the dash made of? My Yukon has no problem with bubbling or dis-colouration. And it gets above 50 degrees here, in the summer. If you don't put the air con on before getting in the car, the heat inside the car strips your lungs

I have repainted my 1999 3 times.......... It must be something in the plastic causing it to let go. It always lets go on the Dash panel itself. Nothing else lets go........ Trim pieces that pop in are painted also but I have never had a bubble from them.....

You assume correctly, sir :confused: Although I'm a Brit, I have gotten used to Celsius but I'm gonna stick with feet, miles, gallons and inches etc :lol:

it seems like they all do this.. all 3 of my GMT 800s have it

 

My 2000 never did this in the 9 yrs that I owned it.

Anyone know of the best place online to order a fitted dash mat for the 800? Not the most expensive, but the best fitting/best price point... TYIA

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
