Thanks for this great video and using Coverlay®. If you do use the silicone adhesive we send to attach, and then need to access the dashboard underneath at a later date, you can use a heat gun or blow dryer and heat up the dash cover then remove it. If your Coverlay® dash cover is damaged during this removal process, we will warranty it and send you a replacement.👍
You’re welcome! 🤙 This is a great product! Awesome! That’s good to know. You never know when you need to get underneath the coverlay for a repair.
@@TheMinuteMasters I have a couple of gifts I want to send you if you could send me your mailing address. If you would rather not post it, you can email it to customerservice@coverlaymfg.com - just reference "FWD TO JAMES" if you don't mind.
@@coverlaymfg Awesome! Thank you! 🤙 I’ll send an email with my address today.
This is great, thank you, its great to see a young man getting his hands dirty, i was a Chrysler Plymouth, dodge tech for many years, so its great to see and you really do a great job thanks!!!
I'm loving these videos. Just got my 1994 F150 extended cab on Wednesday, and already have found you covering a whole bunch of stuff I needed. I'd especially love to see how the Coverlay door panel replacements work out.
Thanks for tackling these projects, they've been hugely helpful
Thanks man!🤙 I appreciate it! 94 is a good year! I’m actually curious about those coverlay door panels too. However, a company called OBS Interiors will completely restore interior trim pieces and even do a color change.
You’re welcome man! Thanks for watching! I’ve got more videos coming!

You can use a vinyl and cloth spray paint to recolor the tan parts. I had a friend change his blue seats, dash, and doors in a 95 S10 from blue to black. It looks great and still does 12 years later. Duplicolor makes a great spray for that.
I've seen people use those sprays and they do work very well!
I know you're pot committed to the overlay and I think you'd also like the carpet cover. I did this for my 95 Bronco and it came in gray/grey and matches perfectly as far as color. Fitment was spot on and I just plopped it on. I ran some wires below the carpet (gps, search and rescue lighting wires, etc) and hid them well. If I need to change anything, just pull up and there they are. Maybe you want to give that a try and not see that radio short cut they did and the vent hole. Great videos, keep them coming!!!
Nice! I actually did end up gluing the coverlay down. So there’s no turning back now. Lol That’s cool that you can use the carpet to cover everything.
Thanks man! 🤙 I appreciate it!
I've been fortunate to find half a dozen non ripped pads for my trucks. I also made aluminum strips to fit and replace each door and dash plastic strip just below dash pad. It was a lot of grinding, and you need to use some thick aluminum pieces to get the concave curve right on the doors.
Nice!🤙 Finding good dash pads is tricky. That’s cool! I found some fresh ones in the junkyard but one of them has a broken retaining tab.
Very helpful video. I haven't installed my new dash cover yet but it looks like even I can do the job. Thank you.
Thanks man! It’s definitely a straightforward install. You’re welcome!
I'm with Mrs. Minute, good call, the dash looks great!😄
Yup! Definitely a good call🤙
Good info on the dash bolts.
Thanks man!🤙
God Bless you my brother. I have my rosary hang there too 🙏🏼👍🏽 God Bless you and yours.
God Bless you too man!🤙 It’s a great spot for it.
Thanks for the video. Ijust wanted to see what it looks on a similar truck before ordering one. Had one on my old 84 Blazer and loved it.
You’re welcome David! 🤙 These coverlay‘s are a good product. I was hesitant myself.
Mine is grays like yours but im gonna stick with the gray. I think im just gonna lay mine on top like you did but i also have a dash protector on mine now. Great video and thank you for posting.
Nice! Keeping the cover lay the same color is easier.
Thanks man!🤙 Thank you for watching!
@@TheMinuteMasters yes sir
It would be much easier for those who watch this video to paint their old dash vents and radio insets after cleaning the dash and before starting the install.
It's good to learn from your mistakes, but it's always better to learn from someone else's mistakes.
Good point!
That's a pretty cool product. Fortunately my dash is in mint condition. Looks good
It really is! My still looks great!
You’re one of the lucky ones Kyle. Take good care of your dash.
@@TheMinuteMasters too bad those weren't around years ago.
Get ceramic tint. Way better. Only do a 50 percent. It blocks much of the heat and all the uv. Just remember to fill the rock chips before they spread so u dont have to replace the windshield
I agree, 100%!
The name of this channel is the exact reason I'm divorced...
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks
Interesting product. Thanks!
No problem man! 🤙 Thanks for watching!
I think it looks awesome dude!
Thanks Mr. Baeza! 🤙 It did turn out very nice!
Was your xl a stick at one time? I'd like to get rid of it and automatic trans with a 4x4 front
It’s always been automatic.
Looks great
Thanks Josh!🤙 It definitely cleans the dash up.
Looks like a great product just kind of curious what 6ou would recommend found dash replacements for around the same price what are your thoughts on that? Loving the work you have done with this truck awaiting what's next
Thanks man!🤙 It definitely is. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical.
As far as buying dash trim pieces and going that route with restoring the interior. You can honestly spend whatever you’re comfortable with and whatever gets you the best looking trim pieces. I’ve seen the dash piece in front of the passenger side seat (that usually cracks) go for $100.
kinda pricey but looks really good. i have a cloth type dash cover in my 92 f150 because i'm cheap lol
Yeah the coverlay is a bit steep but getting only the dash pad that usually cracks is expensive too. So I figured I got more bang for the buck with the coverlay.
I ordered a cover direct from them and it is poor quality as far as fitment , they offered a refund minus shipping ... $90 , cover was 255 . so i end up at a loss for a poorly fitting item . decided to fix it by adding to the areas where it was short , yes it wasn't that i needed to remove material , i had to add , then try and paint to match .
I've purchased aftermarket ABS parts for motorcycles without these issues unless it was a racing part where detail is second .
on their site it says " Made From Durable ABS Plastic And Vacuum Molded For Perfect Fit " , right .
Seems like they are the only game in town for this type of product , profit > quality .
Sorry to hear that man. I must have got mine while the quality was good (roughly 2017 I think.)
Or where can you buy it
I wish you had a review on the door panels you have
You mean the coverlay brand door covers?
Your vids are great! Subscribed
Thanks man! 🤙 I appreciate it! Thank you for subscribing and watching!
Great vid but where do you get these covers ?
I can’t remember the site but I pretty sure there’s a link in the video description.
@@TheMinuteMasters thanks. I need one !
Hey man, does it rattle at all with it not being just clipped on? Nice video by the way!👍🏼
No rattle at all. Overall very solid and looks great! I could never go bank to the old factory dash against. The paint is holding where I had to touch up that show through too. Thanks man!🤙
Saludos amigo desde Venezuela Caracas tengo una Ford BRONCO año 95 quisiera esa moldura cómo aria para comprarla

Buenas noches amigo saludos la página q me envió para hacer la compra me indica q no está disponible ?? Tendrá otra página para poder comprar la montura por favor 🙏
Ahhh... the classic weak link sweetspot for most Bronco (mine included) dash crack! Thanks for doing this video because I'm just getting started on restoring my 93 XLT 5.8L. BTW, nice Franciscan Tau!
Yup! All these dash pads crack eventually. No problem man!🤙 Thanks for watching! Nice year!
Thanks! I’m glad you know what a Franciscan Tau is. I bought it in Assisi during a pilgrimage.
@@TheMinuteMasters Pilgrimage...awesome! I did a few in Portugal and Spain. 👍🏻
@@TinaICXCNIKA Nice! I have friends who have done pilgrimages there too. The Camino.
Did you get the whole kit? Did you get the door panels as well? Awesome video man!!
I only bought the dash piece.
Will you end up getting the panels? I want to order the kit but I’m kinda Nervous
@@jamesbroderick3660 I’m not sure. There is a company called OBS Interiors who restores door panels. Their finish work looks phenomenal!
@@TheMinuteMasters hmm I’ll have to look into them. There’s also a company call bronco graveyard. They have them for $545
@@jamesbroderick3660 Yup! Bronco Graveyard is a great site too. I’ve ordered stuff from them.
Is there no source on the entire planet for a new dash? Anything from the 90's will be just like mine, the top 4 mounting points will be either weakened or broken from the sun coming through the windshield and 30 years of vibration. This is simply driving me crazy trying to find one; you can't. Any experience you might have would be appreciated.
To my knowledge nobody makes new stock dashes for these trucks. It’s unfortunate because you are right. 30 years of sun and vibrations have made them very brittle. I have seen guys swap, newer F250 dashes into these trucks though.
Thanks for this video! Btw where did you get that seat cover from? I am looking for one just like that for my OBS
You’re welcome man!🤙 I paid to have the bench seat reupholstered. Cost me $312 at a local shop. I was verbally quoted $500 by another shop.
Which shop was this I will drive there today! Just got quoted at 1500$ to reupholster my bench
Was your truck previously owned by a municipality? Noticed the microphone holder.
I don’t think so. The previous owner could have had a CB.
Any info on where we can order one or a link to a website thanks
Lmc truck carries it
I ordered mine from here:
www.carparts.com/dash-cover/coverlay/cvl12115blk?&vehicle[model]=F-150&vehicle[make]=Ford&vehicle[year]=1995
What brand dash is that
It’s the Coverlay brand.
Here’s where I bought it from:
www.carparts.com/dash-cover/coverlay/cvl12115blk?&vehicle[model]=F-150&vehicle[make]=Ford&vehicle[year]=1995
My dash not cracked but its nice to have one to prevent cracks though, wish u left a link
Yeah it is nice for that purpose for sure.

@@TheMinuteMasters thanks
@@fredbennett3549 No problem man!🤙
Hi Steven, Where did you get the cover for your seat? Looks really nice.
Hi Jesse! I actually had my entire bench seat custom reupholstered. Cost me $317 and worth every penny.
@@TheMinuteMasters It looks really good. I am curious as to why you went with that color though...
J. R. Thompson Thanks! Originally I wanted the interior to have a vintage airplane theme, hence the brown. Unfortunately, that theme would require a lot of custom interior which I can’t afford. So I’ve reverted to the black interior.
@@TheMinuteMasters there is a nano ceramic tint film that you can put on your windshield to help keep the UV and heat out of your truck cab. I find this exciting since I do not yet have air conditioning in my truck. I hope to eventually.
J. R. Thompson Yes, I want to add that to me from windshield for sure! It gets hot on that dash in full sun.
Take my money!😃
Colorbond paint "ford black" matches the bezel perfectly.
Just in case you are curious. I ordered the coverlay from here:
www.carparts.com/dash-cover/coverlay/cvl12115blk?&vehicle[model]=F-150&vehicle[make]=Ford&vehicle[year]=1995
So I can either buy this or the actual foamy dash pad that is cracked, they are about the same price
The pricing can be the same. The foam dash pads range in price. The coverlay covers the whole top which can hide other cracks.
@@TheMinuteMasters I don't got any others as of now luckily, need some interior spray with uv protectant to keep it that way
@@tuckerhiggins4336 That’s good! My dash has had cracks in a few other spots. You are definitely lucky.
Hi Stevie this is Francisco hey buddy where do you get that coverley
Hi Francisco! I put a link in the description for the website that I bought it from.🤙
@@TheMinuteMasters OK thank you buddy
@@FranciscoLopez-cc7ui You’re welcome Francisco!🤙

just covering up the old fucked and cracked dash just does not sit well with me becuase ill be driving around knowing the dash is broken under it
That’s true if you dwell on it. But you could also be dwelling on the rust that slowly builds up on a truck frame everyday. Or the mysterious rattle. At the end of the day, I just do what the old heads say. Turn the radio up and enjoy the ride! Lol
@@TheMinuteMasters my trucks got no rust i live in australia and have a RHD converted OBS. im currently really screwed becuase my dash is now cracked. my only option is to now remove the dash and have a provessional fix it all with fiberglass. even if i wanted to i could not get a dash overlay becuase it would be the wrong shape.
@@fujitsubo3323 Oh nice! Well thank you for watching my channel from Down Under!🤙 Are there many OBS trucks in Australia? Would you be able to find a donor dash?
I bought there door panels definitely worth having new door panels but the pricey.
Nice! Is it a coverlay type as well or a whole new panel? How’s the fit and finish?
@@TheMinuteMasters coverlay panel and fits like factory comes with new leather on armrest and new felt on panel i love it my old ones were falling apart at the pockets so they needed to go i went with the black panels and painted the whole dash to match looks like a new truck now its a whole panel made by them not a cover
condemned youth Gotcha! So it’s basically a brand new panel. Now I’m very interested. I’ll definitely check them out.
11 months later how do you like it? How about a review?
I still love it and it looks great! I can definitely do a 1 year/11 month review of it.🤙
The only worry I have is that is says it exposes chemicals that cause cancer 😬
That’s the usual California label. I’m sure the entire plastic interior can have negative health effects.
How do I know what color to get?
Ford only made a handful of colors. Tan, red, gray, blue gray, and black is a new offering.
@@TheMinuteMasters ok that’s helpful but anyone idea on how to know if mine is a gray or a blue grey
@@timmcgowan27 Good question. Does it look the same as my dash color in the video? Mine is gray.
@@TheMinuteMasters it does
@@timmcgowan27 You definitely have gray then.
Is that the factory bench seat?
Yup! I had it reupholster.🤙
Come on cut it out a bit and use a hot glue gun fill it in and sand it down and paint it works great. but this really looks nice.
Ah! I never thought about that.
