Our dashboard repair Dubai service fully re-trims the dashboard in one of three material grades: PVC, microfiber or genuine leather. All three are finished to a factory standard, with the original colour and stitching matched by default. We regularly re-trim dashboards for Porsche and other European cars, and we accept removed dashboards directly from garages.
On this project, a partner garage removed the dashboard and brought it to our interior workshop. We re-trimmed it in microfiber and returned it ready to refit.
Why Dashboard Covers Shrink and Peel in the UAE
The original cover on this dashboard had shrunk and pulled away from its edges, especially around the centre speaker opening and the passenger-side cut-outs. The foam and adhesive layer underneath were exposed.
This is one of the most common interior problems on European cars in the UAE. Long hours parked in the sun push dashboard materials past their limits, and the cover slowly shrinks, lifts or cracks.
Once a dashboard cover has shrunk, it cannot be stretched back into place. Glue or filler only hides the problem for a short time. The lasting fix is to strip the old material and re-trim the dashboard with new material.
Dashboard-Only Service for Garages in Dubai and Sharjah
We accept removed dashboards directly. On this job, the car stayed at the customer’s garage, which handled removal and refitting. We received only the dashboard, re-trimmed it and sent it back.
This suits garages and workshops in Dubai and Sharjah that already have the car apart for mechanical or electrical work and need a reliable upholstery partner for the trim side. Dashboards can be delivered to our Deira or Sharjah workshop.
Dashboard Repair Materials: PVC, Microfiber or Genuine Leather
Every dashboard re-trim starts with a choice of three material grades. All three are finished to a factory standard. The difference is in feel, durability and price.
| Material | Price level | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| PVC | Most affordable | A clean, factory-look repair on a budget |
| Microfiber | Mid-range | A premium feel and look at a moderate cost |
| Genuine leather | Highest | Owners who want natural leather to match a luxury interior |
For this dashboard, the customer chose microfiber.
Colour and Stitching: Factory Match or Over 300 Colours
By default, we match the dashboard to the car’s original trim colour and stitching thread, so it blends with the rest of the interior.
If the owner is upgrading the whole interior, there is no colour limit. Our catalogues hold more than 300 colours for the dashboard, seats, door panels and trim.
Special-Colour Genuine Leather from Germany or Italy
Some luxury cars use leather in special colours that are not practical to keep in stock. In these cases, we order the exact colour from suppliers in Germany or Italy on the day the job is confirmed. Air freight usually takes about five days.

Can a shrunken dashboard cover be repaired without re-trimming?
No. Once a dashboard cover has shrunk and pulled away from its edges, it cannot be stretched back into place. The lasting fix is to strip the old material and re-trim the dashboard.

PVC, microfiber or genuine leather. PVC is the most affordable, genuine leather is the most expensive, and all three are finished to a factory standard.
Will the new dashboard match my car’s original colour and stitching?
Yes. By default, Weiss Auto Concept matches the original trim colour and stitching thread. For a full interior upgrade, you can choose from over 300 colours.

About five days. Special-colour leather is ordered from suppliers in Germany or Italy on the day the job is confirmed and shipped by air.

Yes. We accept removed dashboards directly from garages and workshops in Dubai and Sharjah, re-trim them, and return them ready to refit.
