This is a difficult fix to do and can get kinda pricey to do it right. What needs to be done is the dash needs to be glued back down and unfortunately the only way to do this is to remove the windshield which can cost ya a bit to do. But it can be done. After the windshield is removed, you can heat the dash up with a heat gun which will make it pliable again and then glue the vinyl back down with a heavy contact adhesive. I myself have never done this type of repair due to the cost of removing a windshield, most customers won't go that far. But I have heard my upholstery shop guys talk about doing the repairs like this. So if you have the ability to have the windshield pulled and put back in and fix the dash I wish you luck, if not check with your local upholstery shop and see if they can help you out. Well Nora I know this isn't a great answer to your question but I hope I've steered you in the right direction. Talk to ya soon, Mike Warren - The Interior Guy Nora,

I have a question. I purchased a car, the vinyl or leather on the dash vent is curled or warped but not cracked. I can see the padding or foam from the outside looking into windshield dash area. In attempting to repair will this tool help? Also what can I use to fill in the gap once I cut off the existing dried foam? How do I know if the dash is vinyl or leather? Thanks.
