This crash pad....it's lifted. Can it be repaired? or is that seam glued into the upper portion of the dash?

This has happened to three of my 93LE dash pads. I've never seen it happen to a black one. The foam deforms in that location and bulges.

So just take apart the dash and re-glue basically?

Actually, there's nothing to glue. The vinyl crash pad material is backed by foam which is glued to the shaped plastic behind that. The vinyl doesn't separate from the foam or the foam from the plastic it just bulges for some reason.

That makes sense, how to address it though?

I thought of perhaps putting glue mix into a syringe and injecting it in several areas of the foam and the clamping it flat, but i never tried it. All three of my 93LE dashes have the same issue.
