Old age is not joy. — Toyota Carina, 1.6 liter, 1989

Wow. How to deal with it? Should I order a new panel? Or are there other considerations?

I think something to cover up the color of the panel, no, you have to look for disassembly …
After the pistons came from Japan for 2 months, I don’t want to order more!

I have exactly the same crack on the panel, it's all temperature fluctuations + stove

anyway

)) It's a disease )

Wash the crack in the same place, we will think how to fix it

What is the black box on the 1st photo on the panel on the left?

sheathe with something, for example, a carpet

What is the price of all this?

wrap it in leather in some local workshop! I don’t know about you, but here they do it without removing the torpedoes ...

and I have the same crack. where you have the widest. only smaller for me)

Hauling a torpedo with something.
I'm going to pull myself in the future.

Are there options for treating this old age?

old age is not a joy - these are words and nothing more ... It's okay, although Volvo does not seem to be infected with this and this trouble will not await it for another 5-10 years, although you don’t know yet ... but still you need to keep an eye on the interior. There are oils and other chemicals. And here the situation is critical, you will have to resuscitate ... to overshadow the skin, or the leather as a deputy, so to speak, at the discretion of the owner. And so the salon has nothing to do with ours, Soviet-Russian and does not even smell)))) Excellent line-up and cozy design. Respect to the foreign auto industry!

It's good that it is so) May it be so for many more years

My 22 years will be in March, no cracks are observed yet)
