Wow, now that's flex. Considering that area of the dash is only held in by
little clips, I wouldn't think it would flex enough for it to crack. I was
thinking of isolating my dash from the car with rubber mounts - now that I
have urethane engine mounts, I wish I had. Damn thing rattles like crazy.
It would probably save it from cracking - too!

the cracks in the riegers dash were just as small as the ones in that
dash... until monday... until that favorite left turn on the way home, you
know, the one where i hit a hard left just before a crest, resulting in the
rieger catching slight air while sliding sideways, adding even more yaw
while hovering briefly, and finally landing at about a 30 degree angle to
the road, where i resume my drift until the turn is completed, and anyone
coming the opposite direction has surely shat their pants.
...but on monday i learned that the dash is in fact a 'stressed' member of
a scirocco, as i watched a crack crawl from the defrost vent, straight
forward, about 3 inches towards the windshield. all of this occured during
the landing/sliding portion of my turn.
...argh, oh well, guess i'll have to send one of my dashes to that
recovering place.
