Cracked Upper Dash (08-09)
#11
@Brunob00 I got so fed up with the rattling of this piece I finally decided to just go for it. I was extremely careful with prying it up, taking careful note where the clips were located and to pry around there.
In the end I got the panel up and only broke 2 clips and where one of my large cracks was already mostly broken apart, it finally separated. But I used some self-adhesive velcro in strategic places to keep it staying down, and it now is quiet. Looks like crap but it doesn't rattle, so my ears are much happier.

Looks very solid now, I thought I was only one to reinforce a perfectly good panel lol. My favorite go to epoxy now is 3M superfast it sets up in 20 seconds, fully cured in an hour and is incredibly strong. Fills wide gaps without running and sagging. Autobody shops use it to repair bumper covers. pricey though

when I first bought our H2 in 2004 we installed a light gray dash cover, its carpet with a foam/foil back, we also bought one for the H3 in 2006, to this day when you remove the dash cover the dash looks brand new, no cracks or broken parts and we also installed window vents so we leave the windows down about an inch so the wind blows thru the truck and removing the heat from the truck, the only broken thing I have is the drivers door panel, H2 an (idiot) at hummer stood on the arm rest to move the light bar so it would fit on the lift, cracking the arm rest and lower panel, they ordered a new panel but there was none available, so I had to silicone the panel back together, to this day….

The H2 dash also isn't the same, so parts can't be swapped, but the similar design flaws still exist. I appreciate everyone with the first gen interior trying to assist, but this is a defective design and inferior material, not something that a sunshade can help. And by now they're so old and brittle, chances of getting that piece off without breaking are nil, so adding reinforcements as a preventative measure isn't an option.
