Leather Dashboard Delamination Issues

[securityguy]

Interested in coming back to a 2026 RAM but have a questions as to whether RAM has resolved the massive leather dash delamination issues they've had? I had a 2019 and the dash bubbled up like crazy. RAM replaced the dash under warranty after a fight with RAM corporate. Decided to upgrade to a 2021 Limited Midnight Edition loaded to the hilt. Same issues so left RAM for a different brand. Miss the RAM interior and style but afraid that if I buy another top tier RAM with a leather dash, I am going to regret it. For those with a 2024-2025, have you had any leather dash issues or did RAM finally have their vendor resolve the issue and all's been well?

Thanks and have a great day my friends!

Bumping to see if anyone with at least a 2024 has had any issues yet. Thx

FWIW I was in a '19 Longhorn before my '22 and the '19 had the same issue as yours with the leather bubbling but my '22 has been fine. I have not heard of as many complaints with the '22 MY to current.

Great to hear my friend!

I have a 2029 1500 Limited with this delamination issue. Other than replacing the dash, has anyone repaired the dash or done some other fix on it? I'm considering peeling off all the bubbled up leather and gluing down some other material, such as naugahyde or even wood veneers.

I know one guy who owns a Vette that did the same thing posted a YouTube video where he bought a special g glue and a syringe and basically injected the glue under the leather and then pressed it back into place. Stated and showed it worked very well. If the leather is coming off at the edges, this won't work as the leather would need to be stretched. Only works for bubbles in the leather.

This happened recently (few months ago) to my 2020 RAM 1500 Limited also. It was bubbling and lifting all over.. I didn't bother with dealer or any of that BS. Just bought some leather adhesive on amazon and some 26 gauge needles and injected adhesive all over the lifting areas. I squeezed it smooth, then used some water filled zip locks to evenly apply force everywhere i was gluing for a few seconds. fIt took about 2 hours to do the whole dash where it was lifting and came out looking like nothing had ever happened. The 26 gauge needles are tiny, so it takes a lot of pushing force to get...
