Barb, Please let us know how you get on with toyota.

I have not put a dash mat on my car as I am affraid it will get stuck. I can not dust off my dash because it is so sticky/melting.
-
How many years do you expect a dashboard to last?
-
I took my 2006 Aurion to a plastics engineering company and in there opinion the cause of the melting dashboard is a chemical reaction within the material causing it to degrade. They said it appears that a substandard or substandard materials were used to manufacture the dashboard causing it to breakdown. They said heat or sun alone would not cause this damage. Toyota still told me they could not help as the car was out of warranty.

I just can't bring myself to cover up an obvious manufactures defect. The dash mat will stop the glare but not the melting. Toyota Australia needs to stand behind the product they manufacture and replace the defective dashboards. "Do the right thing for your customers."

Here is a photo of my melting dashboard that Toyota will not replace.

I have the same sticky dash problem with my 2006 Aurion. Same response from Toyota - out of warranty. I have sent a follow up email to Toyota and I am still waiting for a reply.
