    Dash pad Cracks

    Thanks for link. I’m guessing $1000 for a dash pad. I didn’t call because I’m not gonna have it done and didn’t want to waste their time. Did you get a quote?

    Dash pad Cracks

    I didn’t see silicone listed on the product ingredients, but I’m not a chemist so maybe it’s there somewhere. Meguiars Product Ingredients | Meguiar's

    Dash pad Cracks

    Is there someone who “redoes” these dash pads?? Honestly, it’s in good shape for 58 years old. I’m just gonna keep it hydrated and maybe glue those cracks to try and “seal” them.

    Dash pad Cracks

    I know these aren’t that bad, but is there something I can do to prevent them from getting worse? I was thinking maybe CA glue? I recently started using Meguiar’s 57 to help preserve it.

    Have you tried something like a Bissell Green Machine extractor?

    Was it brown then or keyed to the interior color?

    Package shelf coloration and/or source for new

    I haven’t found a “for sure” source for a ‘66 Chrysler Newport rear package shelf, just various C bodies models from other years. Given that, I might make my own from hardboard, using a jigsaw. How were package shelves colored? Paint? Dye? Vinyl covering? My original is badly damaged and I...

    Front windshield trim, and dash pad

    Are these trim pieces installed correctly, sitting on top of the dash pad? The windshield has been replaced at some point and I’m just curious if they put it all back together correctly or not. Thank you.

    Front seat belts arranged in an 'X'

    The owner's manual for my 66 Newport says to arrange the front seat belts in an 'X' - anyone know why?

    Condensation problems STILL!

    I appreciate your thoughtfulness. At the moment, I have the moisture problem mostly under control. It's supposed to be a very mild winter, so I'm planning to drive the car as soon as possible, whenever it's not snow/ice outside. Keep her moving, keep things lubed, get things warmed up and...

    Condensation problems STILL!

    I have a Damprid box inside the cabin and another in the trunk . . .

    Condensation problems STILL!

    Hopefully this will stop moisture from sweating up through the concrete and into the car.

    Condensation problems STILL!

    So, I now realize this concrete pad is problematic, as well the fact that the trunk is above the lawn. I’m gonna move the car, put down a tarp, and then move the car onto the tarp.

    Condensation problems STILL!

    Yes, all of the chrome on the inside of the car was rusty freckled when I got it. Same with the A and B pillar painted metal trim - rust at the bottoms. I have a feeling that it's been a problem with this car for a very long time. Like I mentioned in this mornings update, pulling the car...

    Condensation problems STILL!

    I could probably do that, although the inside of the car cover is pretty wet and dirty right now, and putting it back on the car risks scratching the paint . . .

    Condensation problems STILL!

    Morning update: Checked on the car today and it was completely dry on the inside save for the very bottom of the rear glass where I wasn't able to wipe it down as well (towel was too big to fit in there). Under the hood was dry and inside the trunk was dry as well. I think the car cover was...

    Condensation problems STILL!

    Yes, I appreciate your suggestions and advice. I'm stumped at thinking there could be a leak. I've got 10 months now with car washes, rain, etc., and no water intrusion into the cabin at all. It wasn't until it started getting cool at night that the condensation problem started, and that was...

    Condensation problems STILL!

    To my surprise, there was some condensation under the hood in the areas were the hood pad was not covering the metal. Also, the trunk lid was wet on the inside, but I pulled the carpet up and the sheet metal under it was dry. The trunk carpet was damp from condensate dripping on it, but not...

    Condensation problems STILL!

    Carpet is a bit damp, as you would expect, but not sopping wet. The foam underlayment I installed last Spring is bone dry, as is the floor pan. Thanks for the reply Big_John.
