Post a picture so we know what we're dealing with
Might be with getting a trim specialist to fill the hole/ repair it. There are some good people out there that do these especially when you remove phone cradles from dashed that have used self tapers in the dash.
Yeah removing dash is straight forward, bit it takes ages as everything has to be removed prior too, so its not a hard job overall, but it takes time for sure.
New dash will fix that, I didn't think it would be that big!
Holy crap!! Haven't laughed so much in ages, think i've pulled something!
I'd say your right with new dash...
