I have used the stuff elsewhere and found it excellent. This coming Summer I am going to see how it goes on filling a couple of small age related 'heat splits' on the top of the dash.

Another similar product is Milliput Bob, i've successfully used it on the under-dash panel on my 760 to recreate the mounting holes, going to be using more of it on the instrument cluster surround/vent panel soon as well.

Not sure how Sugru sets, i know Milliput goes hard so wouldn't really be suitable for the "crash pad" on top of the dash but would work fine on the plastic facia panels.

From this :

Reinforced the hole area with a washer for extra strength, probably not needed but won't hurt!
