Another Dash Peel

Any ideas on repairing/replacing this? Can the top section be replaced separately?

I believe it can. Look at the videos of dash removal on YouTube.

Do you think rubber cement or leather glue would work just as well?

Mercedes stocks dashboards with spanking new leather in Fontana.

Not that hard to replace.

If you want to spend $2-3k a replacement awaits. I would take it to an upholstery shop, they would fix this in 20 minutes.

Fixing it isn't particularly difficult. The difficulty is getting in there along the bottom edge of the windshield without removing the windshield. In my case; the car has one corner along the front edge slightly lifting, but there's less than an inch of space to get in there with anything. The area is so tight that nobody can see it from inside the car, it's only visible when looking from the outside. I've left it alone since it hasn't gotten any worse in the last 2+ years. When I needed my windshield replaced I couldn't find anybody who had the ability to calibrate the windshield in the field so I had to take it in for replacement. That would have been my chance to fix the dash.
