I was surfing looking for an alternative to $1400 new dashboard from Saab and found a source in Oz. However, the shipping is probably expensive. Then I got an email from Ron Fryer in Washington State (below).
BTW...I just filled the cracks with black epoxy and declared victory. I might try a deglossing additive next time and use a pebble vinyl patch to improve the match with the surrounding material. But I'm going to wait and see how the epoxy holds after 10 years plus of various silicone potions, etc. on the dashboard!

Hello John.
As the exclusive North American Representative of Dash Export Services of Queensland, Australia, we thank you for your recent inquiry in regard to our dash pad restoration services.
Our service includes the consolidation of our customer’s dash pads and molded door panels for shipment to and from Australia, which provides substantial cost benefits to our clients due to specially negotiated freight rates for bulk consignments with a leading international shipping company.
These consolidated rates are much more cost effective than those quoted for individual dash pad freight shipments.
Our pricing is "all inclusive" apart from local shipping to and from our Washington State consolidation point.
Our service will provide you with a genuine and professional restoration by qualified craftsmen. Your unit will be totally stripped, repaired, re-padded, re-shaped, and re-covered with the best quality UV sun protected Bridgestone finishing material using our unique vacuum heat molding process. This process ensures that your unit will be finished to original factory specification, like new, in the color of your choice.
We offer our customers an unconditional 100% guarantee on every product.
Our turnaround time is about 6 weeks, including transit times to and from Australia. We should be sending a shipment the first week of July. You do not have to send your dash in until just before we are ready to ship. You can contact us for shipment updates at any time.
All units must be forwarded on the metal/plastic sub-frame – we are not able to accept the pad only.
All fittings such as vents, instrument surrounds, plastic fittings, and fitted gauges etc, must be included to enable us to accurately size and re-fit these items following restoration of the dash-pad itself.
PRICE: $499.00 US Dollars. All major credit cards are welcome.
We trust our submission is of interest to you and look forward to the opportunity of providing you with the finest restoration at an acceptable price, and the best possible service.
Please contact us at the number below to confirm your order.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Ron.
