Dash grab bar lucite cracking: Can it be fixed?
I received the repop dash grab bar lucite in the mail today, and it does not meet my standards. It's a slightly different color, and it's as if they forgot to hit "Ctrl+B" when typing the font into the computer. So that leaves me looking to see if I can repair the cracking in my original piece. Does anyone have any tricks to make these cracks disappear? Heat gun maybe?

I'd find a nice used one.

I'm certainly not opposed to that, but I just assumed that perfect condition original lucite inserts don't exist anymore. I figured most have warped or cracked by now.

I used mineral oil to get cracks out of a 1950 Pontiac hood ornament. I soaked it for a couple days. It is not permanent but yours should last longer inside the car than mine on the hood.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
