New theory on why our dashes crack.. I watched it happen. pic
I actually watched it happen! This was in my friend's B13, his dash is perfect, until the other day. We were driving and he hit a NASTY pothole on the front passenger wheel. You know that little plastic piece that comes out, oval shaped, up by the window? There are 2 of them.. well the instant we hit the pothole it flew up and hit the roof and within about 30 seconds a slight "bubble" began to form on the dash near it. I put the little plastic piece back in and pressed down lightly on the new bubble and instantly a tiny crack formed almost as if it had to let out air.

excuse the little illustration, hah.
So bizarre. I thought the dashes cracked from sun exposure overtime, and of course they'd crack in a variety type of accidents, but a pothole? We were both like there goes the perfect dash board thanks to NJDOT..
p.s. i'm sure there are many other reasons, but did not expect this one
