I had a cellular mat that was given to me on the dash of my 2004 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition. The summer heat and the mat material was noy made correctly ended up blistering the dash right above the OEM Visteon 6 CD entertainment system. The estimates to repair from the Ford Dealers are very expensive at around $3,000. I am trying to think out of the box to replacing the entire dash.
Has anyone seen a stereo,gps,navigation system that has the screen flip up above the dash? I was thinking that I could get the OEM unit pulled and have an aftermarket system replace it but that unit would need come through the top of the dash to eliminate the blistered area.
Can anyone suggest such a system or suggest another idea to get rid of this blistered area? Even though the company is willing to replace the dash at 3,000 dollars if I could get a major upgraded stereo nav system for $ 1,500 t,hen it is a winning situation for all.
Thanks for any ideas!
