This sounds very interesting.
I have a cracked dashboard surround (the 2000 has the standard vacuum
formed stiff black vinyl-over-foam affair). It would seem vinyl
leather-ersatz might do the job. It is flexible, but not flexible enough
due to the fabric strengthening on the back.
Anyone attempted something similar. What acid would be suitable?
