#11 of 15 Going to rename this one by pf_flyer HOST Oct 18, 2006 (6:34 am)
Since we don't have a discussion for interior issues, I'm going to rename this one to make it our general discussion for interior problems and questions.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 17, 2006 3:02 pm) hey!! i live in Texas, and own a 1995 kia sephia. when i bought it, the dash had peeled back so bad, i had to take a knife and cut it off so i could see the road. I think this is an on-going problem with kia dashes, When they experience alot of sun exposure, expecially in the Texas heat. I say this, because i've seen other kia's with the same problem. That being said, this car is the most reliable car I have ever owned. - minus the window & door - lock problems Replies to this message: dbjr76 (Oct 23, 2006 2:19 pm)

Replying to: lorn (Oct 23, 2006 4:31 am) I had a 1999 Sephia, that I traded in for this 2003 Spectra. The Sephia experienced nothign like this, and I treated it the same way, kept the dash treated and clean. It was a damn good car though! I put 102K miles on her before trading it in back in 2003. The Spectra has been excellent mechanical wise, the dash is just a surprise to me as to how it is coming up. Spoke with KIA about it today, waiting for a reply.

Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 16, 2006 3:26 pm) I have a 2003 spectra with the same problem. My defrost vent is is still in place. I found that I can push the dash back in to place. The left side of the vent broke and I am having a hard time finding a new one. Any idea were I can find a new one???? Replies to this message: dbjr76 (Jul 09, 2009 2:35 pm)

Replying to: rsg3 (Jul 09, 2009 2:27 pm) I purchased 2 new vents that I thought I could easily replace myself. However, the dash has to be removed as they fasten in from underneath! I still have the vents, i you are ok with it, email me at dbjr76yahoo and I can send them to you, as I took an alternative approach to the matter. KIA wouldn't do anything for me in regards to the issue except tell me for $750 they could replace the dash.
