Q: Bad interior in my truck
The dashboard cracked on my 2009 Chevrolet Silverado pickup. I noticed that some of the interior and exterior plastic pieces like door handles and some of the fasteners were kind of flimsy. I have had old trucks with cracked dashes before, but this truck only has 45,000 miles on it! Way too new for this to be normal. What’s the best way to fix this?
