Anyone know of a good place to get a used dash for a 3rd gen?
Just need the pad that goes around the airbag and across to the driver's door.
Thanks!

 

got any pics of the damage?

 

I can post something later today.
Thanks!

 

We have to see the carnage!!
I have a wolf dog that has made short work of a few seatbelts, no dashes yet...

 

Anyone know how to remove this thing and or the airbag??
Price from Toyota stealer... $450.00!!

 

Holy Crap!!!! That is pretty bad!!!

 

Ditto!!!! Might call local junk yards to see if they have one in your color. Either that or a GOOD upholstery guy that knows how to repair stuff like that (the old ones will...not sure about the new ones). Good luck!!!

 

ooOoooOoOO bad doggie

 

Oh man! If my dog did that, he might be south of the border right now...

 

time to change the dog's diet :pat:

 

hahahahahah... wow.

i hope he was full.

 

How much are you willing to pay for one?

 

Question,
How long did you leave your dog alone for him/her to do that?

 

Well, they are $450.00 new, most junk yards charge ~ 50% so $200 or so.
Maybe thay can use the hide of cattle-dog :-)
We opened up the glove box and he was after some tasty doggy treats we stashed in there.
Anyone know where I could find an exploded view of the dash online, or anyone have experience removing the dash cover and or airbag?
Thanks alot!

About an hour or so... she has "seperation anxiety" or something.
We went in to get a couple , left her all kinds of chew toys, etc.
Next time I'll tie her to the bumper.. might even remember she's back there before I take off :-)
"Dunno officer, poor dog must have ran for a mile before the leash broke!"

 

Lol...Well a good sense of humor is the place to start I guess. Hope you come up with a good deal on the remake!

 

Bad Dog!

 

I can see that when she was a puppy you left her things to chew on when you left her alone, right?

That teaches a dog to chew in responce to separation anxiety. That is not a good habit to pick up at all. The dog should have NOTHING when left alone as a puppy. No food, water, chew toys or anything. It seems mean, but it will make a better dog down the road.

I took in a stray Rotty. I put him in the garage when I left home. That dog unbagged 3 tons of pellets that I had stacked in the garage for the pellet stove. I got home and opened the garage door and pellets came spilling out like a water fall. Still better then a dash.

Bummer, Don't feel bad though, My male siberian made short work of the ENTIRE front seat of my landcruiser. He was a puppy though, It just takes a little time to get them used to waiting. I still do not trust my dogs in the car alone with ANY food, especially the female.

Try one of those doggie dividers, or find a bar that will let the dog in

 

to me it almost looks like if you just cleaned the cuts (made them straight along the edge of the airbag, down when you hit the vent) it might look a little funky, but at least passable till you can either find a better solution or afford a better solution!
