Consumer Description

I HAVE LOVED MY TOYOTA SOLARA EXCEPT FOR ONE MAJOR ISSUE. A FEW YEARS AGO THE DASHBOARD BECAME STICKY AND GUMMY. EVERYTHING STICKS TO IT AND IT IS VERY SOFT TO THE TOUCH. IT IS TOTALLY MELTING AND THE DASHBOARD HAS CHANGED TO A SHINY SURFACE. THE BRIGHT AND SHINY DASHBOARD CREATES A HUGE GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD RIGHT IN MY LINE OF VISION. LASTLY, THE DASHBOARD HAS BEGUN CRACKING...FIRST CRACK APPEARED BETWEEN THE AUDIO/RADIO SYSTEM AND THE GLOVE BOX A FEW WEEKS AGO. *TR
