Has anyone installed one of these dash caps? New Molded Dash Cover Top Pad Cap for 1969 1971 Alfa Romeo GTV | eBay
I just want a clean looking 72 GTV daily driver. Thanks, DB

Interesting - Hein Brand has one for Euro 128.94 before shipping so this price seems good. Have others done business with these people before?

I had one on my 73 for a while. Not great. I'd rather go the upholstered route in future.

It will work if you glue it over the original dash. It's cost effective.

i just pulled one off my dash (PO had installed it). Mine looked a little wavy and I didn't like seeing the edge along the face of the instruments (I have a '71). Overall the fit was OK though and depending on your definition of "daily driver" one of these may work fine for you. Be advised they may further damage the surface of the dash depending on how you install it. Mine was held down randomly across the face of the dash with silicone glue/sealant, making more work for me to try to restore the dash using one of the methods documented on the BB.

I don't know where it was purchased, but the PO installed cap on my '69 is cracked. Can only imagine what the damage will be if I try to remove it.

Anyone have any experience with the mobile vinyl repair services that I've seen available in the Marin/Sonoma area?

No, but I used to own a GTV that had a restored dash from "Just Dashes". The quality was excellent.

Hey cabi, do you have a link to a restore dash method? I have not run across that in my Search. Thank you!

Any ideas how one can obtain an upholstered dash?

I have read a number of dash repair threads. Search "alfa dash repair" in google and alfabb is near the top. Here is but one:

I bought a cover from Centerline and di not glue it down. It looks good and protects the dash from further damage until I get around to fixing it for good.

I have a 69 1750 gtv
