Default 850 dash

I think that anybody with an 850 dating back to 1994 like mine also probably has a warped, or distorted dash under the windshield. Does anybody know of any company that manufactures them aftermarket? I don't think Volvo carries them anymore from what I have seen. I don't want a dash cover...I want to replace the top dash with a new, or at least lightly used one. Any advice is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance.

I'd really doubt anybody would be selling replacement dashboards. I'd look around on Craigslist for somebody parting out or check with local yards ( car-parts.com is a good search tool ) for one in good condition. I was able to fix one spot on mine with some epoxy but if yours is cracked, you can probably find a used one in good shape

excellent find! I've taken the dash up a couple times for the usual odometer and dash bulb fixes, but that's a great write up.
