Today I'm restoring an old cracked dash from a 1987 Toyota Pickup Truck using the following steps:
grind the cracks into a V groove with a dremel

fill cracks with long strand bondo
fill smaller areas with regular bondo
sand smooth
apply adhesive to vinyl and dash
wrap vinyl over dash
trim excess vinyl
