Now I have to try yelling at Siri and see if it’s all caps.

WHERE DOES ONE GET NEEDLES FOR THIS FIX? DOCTORS OFFICE?

I appreciate the information

WHERE DOES ONE GET NEEDLES FOR THIS FIX? DOCTORS OFFICE?

I appreciate this information Carlos. Many of the dash areas may respond well to this. My biggest concern is the stitch warping as you can see in the pictures. I can't see how that can be corrected with glue.

I know this is a later response, but Ram did end up taking care of this. My dealer worked with Ram and they covered the entire bill.

Sir: I have a case number and took my 2020 Ram !500 Limited Eco Diesel to the dealer and seems like there is some confusion as to if they need to call Tam cares or if Ram cares will call them with repair options. Mt truck had 55000 miles and always garage kept until one day i had to let set out. My dash bubbled similar to your pic on the same side. Ram cares told me they sometimes split the repair bill by paying 80%. Ram Cares should contact the dealer in My opinion or at least that how it worked on the back glass leak repair. Any information you can share will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you
Mike

I know its little consolation, but these dash issues are not just a Ram thing.

This is what's wrong with Ram. Nobody cares about the customer. $80k trucks that have a dash delimination problem. I've owned 20 plus cars and never had a problem with a dash.
Do the right thing Stellantis and Ram!

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 the adhesive to flow through, but it does with patience and leaves nearly no traces of where you injected.

This is the glue I used: Amazon.com

My Longhorn is starting to look pretty bad. Problem is it's not just bubbling but has pulled away in a few places towards the front of the truck. The leather there that should be "tucked" in is like zig/zag teeth if that makes sense. Were you able to stretch this part back? Its a shame. I bought this used but this is an expensive truck and I got it mostly because the interior is so gorgeous.
