Cadillac Fleetwood Dash Pad Replacement & Installation 93-96 RoadMaster Impala Caprice Dashboard #WorkingWithWimberley Episode 41
That suede really set it off! Looks great 👍
Dre M Thanks for watching & be sure to subscribe! I appreciate the compliment. As soon as I bought the Fleetwood I knew I was going to replace the cracked dash and do something custom! I’m happy with the way it turned out.
@@WorkingWithWimberley where can i get a dash like that from
@@TxrdcoastTexas I got mine from a local junkyard, then I covered it in suede myself before installing it.
@@WorkingWithWimberley
Im inspired to do mine..looking to do black suede..is that stretch fabric? and.what glue did you use to attach?..thanks
@@thestlein I recommend 3M Super 77 spray adhesive to put the suede on. And for this application I didn’t use suede that stretched and it made the job really difficult. Every suede job I’ve done since I’ve made sure to use a suede material that stretches a little and it makes the job 10 times easier.
Awesome! My Impala needs this desperately and you made it look easy.
It’s not that bad if you get all the bolts out. Just be careful. When these cars get old, that plastic gets brittle and can break on you.
Thanks. Only one thing I still need, the replacement dash pad. Anyone got any links for them?
I don’t think anyone has them new, but Cadillac Connect has them used. facebook.com/cadillac.connect1?mibextid=LQQJ4d
You are a great teacher and communicator.. thank you for your fantastic videos
Thank you so much! I appreciate the support!
great job! where did you get the dash pad from? a Cadillac dealership?
No, they don’t make it anymore. I got mine from a “you pull it” junkyard. There’s a place called cadillac connect that sells used ones. instagram.com/cadillac_connect?igsh=eXJsZmZrdW1ndmVl
Hey my friend, where you guys order the new one dash board replacement?
I don’t think anyone has them new, but Cadillac Connect has them used. facebook.com/cadillac.connect1?mibextid=LQQJ4d
Me and my wife were looking at your video and we were able to do it with no problem. We appreciate your info.
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Where.do you get that suede dash cover at?
It’s not a cover you can buy. I bought some suede material and wrapped the dash myself. You can see me doing the process in this video on another car.
ruclips.net/video/exF9-IDrZrQ/видео.html
it comes out just like a park avenue / lesabre does now I can collect the mountain of change and dollar coins in my dash
That’s awesome! 😂
Did it look like u could add some speakers some where
You could probably get some shallow mounted speakers in the dash pad.
Where did you find the replacement?
I got lucky and found a nice dash pad with no cracks at my local “you pull it” salvage yard.
Finally, someone who knows what they're doing! EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS...........
Thanks you! I definitely appreciate the compliment!
Nice man. Thanks
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Thanks bro truly helpful
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Great video Where can I find a new dash
I got mine from a local “pull it yourself” junkyard. I don’t think anyone makes a new one. I would check with mr_lac or cadillac_connect on Instagram. They seem to have all the parts.
love it gonna work on mine soon
Awesome! I’m glad the video helped!
Where did u find the dash tho!? Lol
I got it from a local “pull it yourself” junkyard. I then covered it in suede.
So I assume you professionally installed the velour over the old dashboard then reattached it? I have a beautiful low mileage all white Fleetwood brougham 96 model that has two small cracks in the dash by the air bag. I want it done professionally. How? I need a shop that specializes in velour, leather restoration.
I covered mine with a stretch suede material. I just used spray adhesive. But any competent shop should be able to recover the dash. Especially if it’s removed from the car first. There are a ton of low rider Fleetwoods that have the dash customized whether it’s covered with suede, leather, or bodyworked and painted.
@@WorkingWithWimberley I figured. I may see if they can do leather on mine.
👍
Think something like this would be possible to do on a 92 Buick Roadmaster? After sitting undriven in the sun for a few months, the dash pad warped from heat and curved up around the defrosting vent.
ThatVenomousCat96 Thanks for watching & be sure to subscribe! I absolutely think this is possible to do in a Roadmaster. The assembly may not be exactly like the Fleetwood, but it should be close. My original plan was to sand down the humps and fill the cracks with body filler. I ended up finding a nice dash pad in a Fleetwood at the junkyard, so I just covered that one instead of repairing my original one. But I originally planned on repairing the cracked dash and recovering it. It will be some work, but you can definitely do it!
Great video👍🏽
Thanks! I’m glad the video helped!
I'm about to buy a Cadillac Fleetwood tomorrow,any words of wisdom?
Just inspect it as best you can. They’re really nice cars, but condition is everything.
@@WorkingWithWimberley thx
@@hippopominy9 You’re welcome.
The two ppl that disliked the video..... Why? Y’all weird
Thanks for the support!! That’s just a part of being on RUclips. I’ve learned to deal with it and keep it moving!
@@WorkingWithWimberley I kno. Still. Every one of your vids is helpful with just enough detail and none of that extra ish.
@@pettischristopher Again, much appreciated!! And overall, the channel has a 98% like rating average. That’s pretty good. The 2% dislike people don’t matter lol.
Have You Done A Speedometer Replace In A Fleetwood? Because That’s What I’m Trying To Pursue. Can You Help Me?
I did take the gauge cluster out in my Fleetwood to replace a blown bulb. It wasn’t that hard. The problem is that the cable that’s linked between the column shifter and the drive indicators always breaks when you take it out. I broke mine and I ended up stitching the cable back together with a piece of wire and it was a pain to do.
Dang Mane I Have The Cluster So I Hope That It’s Not Too Hard For Me.
I Got It Off And Replaced It But That Gear Cable Boa Oh Boa I Kouldnt Fix It
I knew it would break. They always do. I’m glad you swapped the cluster though.
U doing gd job
Thank you!
Thanks
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Really helpful videos tnks , can you do a vido on the Fleetwood rocker panels how to glue them or how to make them look str8 .
Luis Carlos Thanks for the support & be sure to subscribe if you haven't done so already! The chrome trim is held in with bolts/screws and plastic clips. As the cars age, the plastic clips can become brittle and break. I would loosen the bolts and screws, try to adjust the trim and then tighten them back down. If it needs glue, I prefer to use E6000 or Goop.
Anyone know what size clips are used on the bezel?
I’m not sure.
Thanks for the video. Straight and to the point. Working on 91 Roadmaster and it is similar.
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Thanks a lot! Very helpful, I like how you showed how to actually get the dash out instead of just describing the process.
BTW, your caddy looks exactly like mine. I love that color.
Thanks for the feedback & consider subscribing if the video helped! I'm going to do more videos on the Fleetwood soon. I'm replacing all the ball joints up front. I originally wanted a burgundy Fleetwood until I saw this blue. I was sold after seeing the interior. How long have you had yours? What have you done to it so far?
@@WorkingWithWimberley I've had it for over 4 yrs. now. Unfortunately did have to replace optispark, re-wrapped fabric on b pillars, and had to touch up some of the exterior trim. Vogue whitewalls and thrush exhaust pipes and she definitely turns some heads at the shows and cruise-ins!
Matthew Mckean Ok you went with the Vogues. That’s a good look! I also wrapped the A and B pillars with the suede. I didn’t think anyone would be that interested in the Fleetwood, but it constantly turns heads! It’s a joy to cruise in and float down the road!
I just got a 94 they have the carpet on the dash. No offense but I hate that look lol glad I found this video. SpraywayCustoms on RUclips has a video where he repairs cracked dash boards. Worth checking out too.
I actually covered mine with suede, it’s not carpet. But it’s cool lol! Beauty is subjective. Do what you like. And I’m actually subscribed to SprayWay and I’ve exchanged some messages with him. I’m a fan of his work. 💪🏽
@@WorkingWithWimberley oh na I like the suede lol I was just saying the one I got has the carpet on there, that's why I was glad I found the video lol your 100% right though. Sprayway the man he's got some very informative content. A master of his craft. God bless
Another question did you replace the whole dashpad? If so where'd you find it? If you don't mind sharing. Or did you cover it yourself with suede? Apologies for being worrisome.
@@johnpippin2426 Yes, I replaced the entire dash pad. I got it from a local “pull it yourself” junkyard. I then covered it in suede myself.
@@WorkingWithWimberley ok thanks, I appreciate it
This definitely helps me!!! Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
I need to replace the lower dash driver side knee bolster can you do a vid for that. 1996 Fleetwood Brougham
Yes I can. It’s pretty simple. I’ll do one.
What is that dash pad covered with? Is there a video of it being re-done?
It’s covered with a suede material that has a slight stretch to it. amzn.to/3OScBFz I don’t have a video on covering it, but I basically did the same thing to the dash pad that I did to smaller pieces in this video: ruclips.net/video/exF9-IDrZrQ/видео.html
@@WorkingWithWimberley A big thank you for the links. Have you used the stuff for other car projects? I'm wondering how fade-resistant it is.
My FWB has a charcoal grey metallic exterior with a 2 tone grey interior, primarily light grey with parts like the dash pad a darker grey. I was considering recovering my pillars with something fleece-like since the factory cloth looks very much like light grey fleece, but the suede fabric looks MUCH better in your car. I wish they offered a light and dark grey, but I think I'll order a yard or 2 of the grey they have and see if I can make it work.
@@mpikas No problem! Yes, I’ve used it before and I haven’t noticed any fading. But the longest one has been three years and going so I don’t know exactly how long it will hold up, but so far so good on 3 years. I’m actually doing suede in my CTS right now. ruclips.net/video/a3zmdE8DJHY/видео.html Also, I switched to 3M Super 77 adhesive because it’s easier to work with and is tacky immediately. I haven’t had any issues, but I’m sure if you search the internet there’s probably something even better you could use.
@@WorkingWithWimberley Honestly, even 3 years and still looking good is a good deal, I've seen some fabric fade appreciably in a few months, and colors like blue tend to be the worst. If the grey is a nic e grey I'll probably try it.
Super 77 is my go-to for this kind of stuff. There are a few others, the 99 is stronger but also more likely to soak through, and you don't really need it for this kind of thing.
I was wondering if you had video of doing it because mine doesn't look as flat as yours, and I suspect that I'm at a minimum going to need to do some sanding, filling, and maybe a 1/8 or 1/4" thick layer of foam.
Thanks!
Steven, thanks for the great video. It made removing a dashboard pad at the junkyard easy. I was lucky enough to find one in great shape that had been recently recovered. Now, I'm trying to remove the dashboard cover from my car. I've done everything by your video; 2-black 10mm, 2-7mm, and 2 screws under the vent.
I can't get the pad to budge, any suggestions? Thanks Tom
I would look at the screws under the defrost vent again. If I remember, there were actually 4, but only two hold the dash down. If you remove the wrong two, it won’t come out.
Hmm interesting. I did notice that the 2 screws you removed were towards the front of where the defrost grill goes. The ones I removed were towards the back. I remember looking and feeling around and I did not see any others. I will look again.
Bingo! Got it. There were only 2 screws. I gently pryed the front where the #10mm bolts were, it released. I also noticed slight differences between my 94 FW dashboard top and the 93 FW dashboard replacement from the JY. On the side defrost vents, by the driver and passenger front window the 94 has a small grill whereas the 93 has rows of perforated holes. I think everything will be good to go when I get the pad back from the upholsterer. Thanks Tom
@@tomcummings7162 Ok great!
Where you get the new dash?
I got it from a local “pull it yourself” junkyard. I then covered it in suede.
Ahh ok. Mines cracked also, Thanks for responding.
@@buddymanstv7799 No problem. 👍🏽
Life saver. Well put together video, straight to the point.
Liked and subscribed
Thanks for watching & be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already! I know what it’s like to watch a video where the person talks on and on about nothing and then doesn’t even explain what you need to do. I make sure to never do that! I want to be thorough, clear and straight to the point! Thanks for the feedback! Do you own one of these great Fleetwoods?
@@WorkingWithWimberley yes. I have a black 96 brougham with All of the chrome gold and all gold 26's. No lifting or cutting done. Gonna post a video of it by the weekend.
Ok cool! I’d tune in to that. Let me know when you post your video.
@@WorkingWithWimberley I got it on my channel now.
She definitely looks sharp sir.
Joel Drover Thank you! Much appreciated and the Fleetwood needed a new dash pad!
I imagine that's a common problem in the south, had to check it out after talking to you on Reddit. I'm itmalibu by the way, if ya check out my channel you'll see a couple of my Fleetwoods here. Good luck with it sir
How would I remove the piece that covers the rear speakers
I’m not sure how that comes off. I haven’t removed mine. If I do, I’ll be sure to let you know! What year Fleetwood do you have? Any mods?
WorkingWithWimberley I have a 93 Fleetwood on 13 inch wire wheels
That’s s classic look. I always liked the wire wheels.
Where did you find the suede replacement? Looks nice
Thank you! I did it myself. I found a nice dash pad with no cracks at the salvage yard and then I covered it with suede. It was a lot of work, but I’m happy with the way it turned out.
where did you get the replacement dash?
I got it from a local “pull it yourself” junkyard. Then I covered it in suede.
Looks great. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated.
I have a 1996 model and I like to know do I have to remove the dashboard pad to replace the light switch?
You shouldn’t have to remove the dash pad to replace the headlight switch.
OK Thanks
very helpful bro, thanx
You’re welcome! I’m glad the video helped!
Thanks, anything on the door lights?
I don’t have any videos on the door lights. You will probably have to remove the interior door panel.
That's dope I'm saving this vid for when my dash looks like that! Hahaha thanks!!!
Lol! Cool! Check out what the car looks like now. ruclips.net/video/i5k8aBiBtdI/видео.html
@@WorkingWithWimberley dammm that's clean! Love them rims and steering wheel
@@raulpiscoya2929 Thank you! The steering wheel is out of a 2000 Seville. I really wanted a wood wheel but I wanted to keep it Cadillac. 👌🏽
@@WorkingWithWimberley did you have to do much modification to make it fit?
@@raulpiscoya2929 No I didn’t . The splines on the wheel matched the ones on the steering column. It bolted right up. The only minor mod I made was to the airbag connector because it was different. But it’s only a two wire connector and the wires were the same color too. So it was easy.
Where are you location
I appreciate you for reaching out, but I’m not a mechanic for hire.
Thanks 😊 Big wig!!!
You're welcome! I'm glad the video helped!
@@WorkingWithWimberley what do you know about wire Wheels for the Big body caddy 95 fleetwood brougham??? I just picked up a set of I believe 14x7's or 14x6's and I haven't even started yet to mount them.
@@gladememmott3001 Not much. I'd look at all the info on cadillacforums.com I know they have several guys who actually have the 14s on their Fleetwoods.
@@WorkingWithWimberley thanks again boss
@@WorkingWithWimberley and now I'm fiberglassing the dash.... A lot of work here so I hope its worth it lol.
Imbox for me
There’s no inbox on RUclips.
Nice! Where did you get the replacement?
Overdose480 Thanks for watching & be sure to subscribe! I appreciate the compliment! I got the replacement from a local junkyard. I found a Fleetwood with a good dash and pulled it out. Then I covered it in blue suede. These cars are becoming harder to find and they don’t make many of the parts anymore. I’m waiting to come across another at the junkyard to grab a few more parts that I need. That seems to be the best way to get certain parts for it now.
I have a 96 myself, and I know what you mean. But there are a few people and Facebook groups that can get you anything you need for these.
Overdose480 Do you know the names of the groups? I’d like to check them out.
@@WorkingWithWimberley on Instagram they have Cadillac Connect and Mr Lac, then on Facebook there's a 93-96 Fleetwood Parts for Sale group.
Overdose480 Thanks! I’ll look them up. There’s a few trim pieces I really need.
This is perfect man. Awesome. I just picked up a '94 Fleetwood in triple with a cracked dash. Dope the Caprice fits. Find a nice one,prep it,SEM Landau Black and I'll be good to go.
I don’t think the dash pad from a Caprice will fit a Fleetwood. The reason I mention the Roadmaster and Caprice in the title is because since they’re basically the same car, the removal process should be similar. But I don’t think they use the same dash pad.
@@WorkingWithWimberley All good. The removal part looks like a breeze so I will look for a nice one-or i can repair mine. I work on '70's rides-so a 1994 for me is like a new car.
Ok cool! You’ll have no problem with this job then.
Looks amazing
Thanks! Here’s a video where I go over the entire car: ruclips.net/video/i5k8aBiBtdI/видео.htmlsi=pl1nvebqabSft4fr
