Mine is craked too, right in front of the windshield. I guess it is just a defect on some of them, my '03 spyder has barely 25,000 miles on it and is already cracked.

I wonder if you could take out the dash and make cuts in them so it wont crack, kinda like cutting concrete on stress points.

I wonder if beefing up the front strut tower bar and adding a rear strut tower bar would decrease the amount of body flex, thus preventing dash cracking.
