Another option was suggested to me quite a number of years ago, before the vinyl dash covers existed.

Use a small drill bit to carefully drill holes at each end of the crack. This helps relieve the stress and helps to keep the crack from propogating.

Then use "DURO Black Plastic Rubber" (I think) to fill in the crack and cover it. The person who sent that adivce said he had gotten good results from it. I never was able to get a drill into the area where my dash is cracked, and my own repair job with the black plastic stuff looked pretty mediocre. I think some way of getting the edges of the crack back down would help, since they peeled upwards a bit.

But the easiest thing--and probably best-looking--is probably the vinyl cover.
