Dash Board Crakes
I got some crakes on my dash board. I would like to stop these crakes from increasing in size.
Is there any thing can be done to make sure dash board crakes don't get any longer or bigger then what I got now.
Is there any special glue or some thing that I can put in crakes and fill them up, so crakes don't grow.
Please see couple of pics. Any feed back will be appreciated.

Heat & strong sunlight make dashes crack more easily. A dash cover or mat would hide the existing and help keep them from spreading, but you might not like the looks of a dash mat.
You could try filling the cracks with some sort of dark compound or painting them with touchup paint to help them blend in. Short of replacing the dash, I don't think there's really much you can do to fix them. Vinyl protectant might keep more cracks from appearing.
Maybe someone else has better ideas.

There are several kits on the market to repair cracks in the dash. The results will vary depending on how carefully you follow the directions. The biggest issue I see would be recoating the entire dash so the color is even. www.leatherique.com has dye products that could be used for the color.

what i have been doing
I have been putting armarol almost on weekly bases that has UV protection and it seems that my crack have not spread and the dash board stays moist but shiny and creates glare on your windshield.
