There's a nationwide franchise out called Dr. Vinyl, they have a website which allows you to locate someone in your area. They do work mainly for car dealers from a van they drive around. I used a guy near here (NW Ohio) to repair cracks in my 91KT and was surprised how well it turned out. It did crack again, one crack re-opened, but it was while I was handling the dash top and I'm not sure I was as careful as I could have been. And, not to pick on the guy who did hte work, but I'm not sure he was the most skilled of the bunch. The other cracks he repaired have not reopened and are not visible. It's an interesting process -- they fill in the cracks, sand it down and then (air brush) repaint the whole thing with custom matched paint. In the middle of the process it looks like it'll never work but the outcome was good. It cost me $75.00 for the dash top, he also took out dents in a Porsche dash (off the car) for $30.00 and result was almost perfect.
