:::UPDATE:::

I decided to do a DIY repair of injecting 3M Neoprene High-Performance Contact Adhesive 1357 into a few areas in the dash. I'm actually quite pleased with the results! An initial concern of mine was being able to compress the dash and evenly distribute enough weight to flatten the popped leather while the adhesive was drying. I found that my college yearbooks worked perfect in that they were heavy enough and that I was able to manipulate the book binding so that each of the 4 books could be "wedged" into the slant of the windshield to create tremendous downforce (see pics). Again, it's not perfect but I'm happy with the results and didn't have to spend boku money. To anyone who tries this, i would say to get 18 gauge syringes as they are the perfect size to take and distribute the 3M adhesive. Once injected, I tried to keep the yearbooks in place for at least 12 hours (which is probably overkill).
