OK, I'm an idiot. I was installing my XM radio (all satellite radio comments to be heard at another time) and the mount wouldn't stay on the dash with just the adhesive, so I used 2 small screws. well I am getting a new radio and i have learned I really dont like the radio where it is now. So I would like to take it off and patch the holes. what should i patch them with? i have thought about some kind of 2 part epoxy but the color would have to be just right, and then how do i get it smooth?

your thoughts??

 

Maybe try rubber plugs or if it really bothers you take out dash and smooth and paint?

 

Talk to some used car dealers. There are mobile auto interior repair services available.

Our local guy fixed the armrests on my wife's Safari van for $50. The vinyl armrest is incorporated into the panel. Hers had cracked on both sides and new panels were $200ea. The repair has looked good for over a year. He literally painted the panels with a blow gun which was run on his breath. He fixes dashes, armrests, steering wheels and other assorted trim. I'm sure you have someone like him in your area.

 

i recently took out my cb radio and i had to drill holes to install it. Im trying to figure out the best way. so how did fixing the holes in your dash go? and what did you use?

 

JB Weld, the 4 minute type. You can paint it to match.
