How do I fix a cracked dash?

Wife's Pathfinder is almost complete, but I need to decide what to do with the sun induced cracks in the front of the dashboard.

1. I could put bandaids on it

2. I could use a product like Plast-Aid mixed with color to patch the cracks.

3. I could just buy the replacement crash pad ($338) and go through the pain of dismantling the dashboard enough to replace it.

4. Saw a product at stockinteriors.com that is a cover. Here's a shortened link to the page.
86-93 Nissan Pathfinder Dash Cover Late 86-93 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993

Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with the dash cover approach?

Best regards,
Jim

I'm gonna say that the dash cover would be a cheap and easy way out but it probably won't fit very snug. You could go the route of buying a plastic welder and just seal those up mainly just so the sun doesn't crack it any further. I think I saw one at Harbor Freight and they were relatively cheap. Putting Flintstones bandaids on it would be pretty cool too, though.

Try RockAuto Parts Catalog. They usually have pretty good prices.
