Consumer Description

THE TOP OF MY DASHBOARD HAS MELTED. IT HAS A STICKY, SHINY TEXTURE NOW. I LIVE IN FLORIDA, SO I GUESS IT MELTED FROM THE HEAT. IT'S SO BAD I CAN'T PUT ANYTHING NEAR OR ON IT FOR FEAR IT MIGHT GET RUINED BY THE DASHBOARD (EX: PARKING PASSES). THE GLARE SOMETIMES GETS BAD ENOUGH WHERE IT OBSTRUCTS MY VISION WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR IS JUST ABOUT 5 YEARS OLD NOW, BUT THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN MELTED FOR A LONG TIME. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. THERE MUST BE SOME KIND OF HEALTH RISK FROM DRIVING AROUND WITH MELTING PLASTIC IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE. *TR
