Haven't been on in quite a while. But I noticed this in the Stang a few weeks ago and meant to post. It started with just one and now there are two!

I did see this has happened to others and their various techniques used to repair. My repair plan is to use orthodontic acrylic, which is great for gluing plastics and is extremely strong. Since the cracks are at the early stage, I can push in from the front of the dash and they meet perfectly together and virtually disappear. I was hoping to glue from behind and not require any finishing on the front.

My real question for posting this is WHY is this happening? I was concerned that a support for my dash maybe loosened and the weight of the dash over bumps caused flex and then these cracks. Is it just the crappy plastic or is there something else going on?

Here are some pictures (first with no flash, second with flash):
