Mine finally broke. It wasn't hard to replace. 

I'm going to try and "fix" the old one and use it when the new one breaks.

You replaced the whole thing rather than reinforce it

I'm still running my original but reinforced it when it showed signs of cracking. I think I posted photos of what I did if you're interested.

Yes, I figured this might become a difficult part to find at some point and since it tends to fail... i'll have a spare. I'll fix the original at some point.

The dash stay is all fixed up. Three different shops to blast + weld + coat... so it took a bit of time with the holidays and all. Added beads where the factory cut corners, and a new brace behind the connector 'cage'. All this should greatly reduce forces acting on the upper tube. That's where the twisting/tearing occurs. I will assemble the front end over the weekend.

My dash stay is cracked big time at the usual spots, I wish I had figured it out before the nice weather is here 😭

 

Is there anyone near NJ that is willing to help me fix this? I will pay.  The dealership near me has already proved untrustworthy unfortunately.

edit: called a different dealer who’s going to replace it for $150(I have the part). Not bad!
