A few months ago i started noticing that the dashboard of my car was getting shiny. i thought it was just some substance that i could wipe off but found it was very sticky and deteriorating. while driving on the highway this week the reflection was bad enough to cause a distraction, enough that as soon as i got home i searched the internet for what i could do to fix it. i thought mine was an isolated case but found several articles indicating that this is happening to many others as well. while i personally don't expect the manufacturer to shoulder 100% of the burden for the repair, i did want to register my case as it seemed that the manufacturers were not acknowledging this as a common problem in the hopes that they would agree to a formula to address the cost rather than everyone having to negotiate the share of cost individually. *tr
