Unhappy Dent in Airbag Trim – Any Ideas to Cover it?

-
I’m trying to cover up a small dent in the upper airbag trim (see pic #1).

I don’t how it got there (maybe the last time I had it in for repairs – shift indicator adjustment) but I just noticed it yesterday. Now I see it everytime I get in the car. I’d just replace the trim, but I don’t think I can since it’s part of the airbag.

I thought about a decal like the signature decal (picture #2), but since it’s the upper trim and not the lower trim panel I don’t know if it would look akward.

Any ideas on something that’s inexpensive but would look good?

Geez, You can hardly see it. It's like one of those things, once you notice it, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Take the car to the best car upholstery place in your city. They probably handle air bags and might know how to take the cover off and put a new one on. I know how you feel - it's like having a scratch under thecar - you cannot se it - but YOU know its there.

Mr.V would tell you the obvious solution.

You have to sell it now. It'll never be the same. I know what you are feeling. I got a rock chip on the side, somehow. It's all I see. That and the shallow dent from my elbow right above the third taillight

I would ignore the dash dent, unless the dealership can maybe massage it out? The trim there is removeable, I think.

Just put a piece of duct tape over it.

I'd be leaning toward a pony, or some other emblem. Try going to www.cjponyparts.com and browse through their emblems. You'll probably find something that looks stock and covers the dent.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

How about one of those 19.95 infomercial dent ding kits. I've used with some modest success. You hot glue a suction cup to the dent and you them out a brace over it and tighten a screw on the back of the suction cup.

If your going to replace, it is worth a try first. BTW - I have no clue, but you may need to watch out for the airbag, someone else may be able to offer advice on that.

The 68s had a small tri bar and running pony on the glove box door.
Would cover the dent and be retro. I couldn't find one for the 68 but here's the one that was used on the 66s. The price is $9.95.
