I can't help but wonder what affect this would have on the passenger air bag deploying.

Makes you wonder how this came to be. I have never seen a cracked dash in even from the 90's. Now the 70/80's yes. Nice pink nail polish.

Zero effect, some glue and tighter upholstery will not slow down the force of an airbag significantly enough to be a concern.

Also for those wondering.. if you can lay vinyl stickers you can lay vinyl..

The good glue is important.. a hair dryer (not a heat gun) or preferably a steam gun will help tremendously with laying down vinyl fabric.

Dashes still do crack, if you take care of it from start of ownership (just like you do for exterior car washes), it ll last a lot longer
