I would expect a fiberglass cloth with epoxy may used on the back of the removed dash to reattach. Not sure that will work but I expect that would be what I would try.

Has anyone found out what causes the cracking? We have the same problem which appears to be caused by excessive dash bouncing while going down the road. The mounting screws on the right side of the dog house have al either sheared or fell out on my 2005 PA allowing excessive bouncing of the dash which created the crack. Has anyone corrected this problem?

Howdy--Our 2005 Providence has no dashboared cracks but only 7K on it. We did have cracks in plastic defroster plates which I just replaced with new ones from Fleetwood parts. You said that your doghouse was shook loose. What is the doghouse and where are the bolts so I can check mine. Thx Marty

The dog house is only on gas coaches. You do not have one.
