Recently I was cleanning the windscreen of my 07 Camry and by accident found that my thumb nail had gone through the dash, leaving a big deep scar in it. On closer inspection I found that the dash was melting so to speak and was sticky / tacky to touch between the windsreen and the steering wheel. The dash now has become very shiny in appearance where this has happened and the dust is now a permanent fixture of the dash, as it has sunk into the dash.
Has anyone else seen this before?
I have seen numerous threads overseas about this but nothing in Australia.
One should check this when the vehicle is out in the sun and to be careful when cleaning your dash.
The same thing has happened to me. Every time the weather warmed up, (whether it be in the shade or not) the dash would get really soft and sticky. I now have dust and insects embedded in it and everytime I clean it, more marks are made by the cloth so i gave up. It is not a pretty sight at all, so I was told to get a dashboard cover. Shouldn't there be a recall or something on this as this really affects the value of the car if i ever want to sell or trade in...
