Unfortunately, the PO of my Z riveted a St. Christopher medallion to an otherwise perfect, original dash. :angry: So it's secured with two 1/8" rivets just above the glovebox, and I really want to remove it. But I'm afraid that I may do more damage removing the medallion and repairing the holes. I read a few posts about repairing cracks, but not something as minor as a 1/8" hole. I think if I could safely remove the rivets, I could probably repair the 1/8" holes with a black sealant/caulking of some kind.

Am I crazy for trying it? Maybe I should just leave the medallion even though I think it looks like s**t? Any thoughts before I try it?

Google "Vinyl Repair Kit" and you will come up with hits like this one. I used a

kit like this but had a iron to heat the texturing material. The one below is

probably all you will need for what you are doing.
