Consumer Description

WELL I HAVE A BLACK 09 NISSAN ALTIMA AND I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT MY DASHBOARD IS VERY STICKY AND SHINY AND IT LOOKS LIKE ITS MELTING. THERE IS SUCH A BIG GLARE THAT BLOCKS YOUR VIEW WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING. I LOOK ONLINE AND SAW THAT OTHER PEOPLE IN FLORIDA HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I DO. IN FLORIDA THE WEATHER IS ALWAYS HOT. THE CARS IN FLORIDA SHOULD BE MADE TO WITHSTAND THE HOT WEATHER AND NOT START MELTING. THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS. *TR
