Wow, looks great! My LR3 dash is cracked all around the passenger air bag seams (a common issue with LR3's), but it has not spread anywhere else yet, so I am hestiant to tear it all apart and potentially introduce rattles or squeaks - let us know how it ends up!

Coming together nicely. Now in this shot I can clearly see the stitching on the binnacle that mine doesn't have. Hope you can get it all buttoned up and back on the road this weekend.

Looks really great. Good job. Better than factory IMO. Was an honor to help you. Enjoy your well done job. Have fun. God bless you all.
Just a final update - I got everything back together this weekend and cleaned all the leather with Chemical Guys cleaner and applied the leather serum to the dash.
The only advice I have for the next guy/gal is to make sure you get the two bolts out of the bottom of the floor console out before you disconnect the battery. You will need the seats way forward to get to them. Extend the steering column all the way out and put the shifter in Neutral before disconnect of the battery. Also be careful as you can accidentally bump the shifter back into park AFTER you remove the knob/handle. You will have to reconnect the battery to resolve that issue.

I have a Landmark 2016 LR4. My leather peeled off the dash before the first two years of ownership. I use leather moisturizer and it’s not in direct sunlight all the time. LlR dealership replaced it under warranty. Now 2 years later, it’s peeling back again. I suspected they messed up with it since it seemed a coincidence this only happened right after servicing the air conditioner. They said they didn’t touch anything there. I am totally baffled. I have never seen this happening on cheapo cars. I’m aggravated by this! What can I do??

Lux model with the upgraded leather?
Yes. Landmark edition; the last LR4 Luxe model totally loaded with the Windsor leather, 20-inch Diamond Turned 5-split alloy wheels, silver roof rails (I also added the optional full roof rack for my bikes and kayaks),heated windshield, three seat rows, washer jet, leather gear knob, leather-topped cooler box in between seats (for food and water storage) and ambient mood lights all over. I put every single optional. Lateral bars and chrome bumper guard. Now it looks crappy with the leather just coming apart right in the front of the panel. Second time it happens.
