The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro & 1969-1974 Chevrolet Nova Upper Dash Patch Panel is a precisely stamped steel repair section designed to restore the upper portion of your dash between the windshield and the instrument cluster. This area often suffers from rust, UV damage, or prior modification, making this patch panel an essential solution for restoring structural integrity and original appearance. Formed from heavy-gauge steel and shaped to match factory contours, it includes provisions for the speaker and defrost vents where applicable. Ideal for targeted dash repairs without replacing the entire dashboard frame.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Requires cutting, welding, and panel finishing.
Instructions: Remove the windshield and dash pad. Cut out the damaged upper dash section. Clean and prep the surrounding metal. Test fit the patch panel and trim as needed for precise alignment. Weld into place along factory seams, grind smooth, and apply seam sealer. Finish with primer and paint before reinstalling interior components and windshield glass.
