dashboard replacement?
I have a little problem with the dashboard of my 987S with full leather in cocoa. After approximately 2 weeks of ownership - and after the first treatment with Meguiars leather spray I detected a slight dent on the dashboard on the passenger side. First it looked to me as if someone would have made a dent with the fingernail. In the bright sunlight I detected more of these dents - only slighter. All dents where allocated on one line and with the same space in between. It seems as if the cow hit a barbed wire.
My dealer organized someone from the importer to take a look. I now was told that a replacement dashboard has been approved ad that it mine to decide whether I want it to be replaced or not.
For me it's some kind of dilemma. I really invested a lot in my Boxster regarding all the extras I bought - and I would like it to be "perfect" - therefore the dents are annoying me and I would like to have a clean dashboard.
On the other hand I fear that the replacement of the dashboard will not be without any traces - especially regarding rattling noises. In addition it might even be possible that the leather structure of the replacement dashboard will be different to the leather on the other parts in my car.
Does anyone have experience in such replacements?

Everytime you get in your new car you are going to see the imperfections, and it is going to drive you nuts. You don't need a new car, and dealers can replace dashes with no problem.
