I had my binnicle repaired 2 times by an expert in the upholstery repair business. He has been doing this kind of work for years for used car dealers. . He said that was the first time he failed. The original binnicle, if in the sunlight for many years, will crack and fade. No fill-in product seems to work properly whether silicone or otherwise. I removed mine from the dash (not hard to do) and had an auto upholsterer that specializes in custom car interiors, upholster the binnicle in grey vinyl with the standard DeLorean double row of stitching across the top edge. He put on a thin layer of material to eliminate the cracks from showing through. It looked absolutely great and did not look like a cheap fix. Cost me $75.00.
