I think if you do a search of the forum you will find a link for a website that sells dash caps.

Noooooooo. At least not from the seller that sells those pre-dyed ones. It is still the worst dash cap I have ever seen! Cracked dash is much better!

Are you sure?  The box is big, but light.

That said, I guess the only proper way to repair a cracked dash would be to (pull it, then) recover it.  Are there any upholstery shops in the neighborhood?

Replacement or professional repair are the probably the best options, but I know some guys on here have used dash caps with great results. They'd probably be happy to share some pics with you.
