| Description of the problem | The dash appears to be melting. This appears to be a pretty wide spread issue as evident in several nissan online forums. My dash has become soft, sticky and shiny in several very large spots. If this were just a cosmetic issue, i wouldn't be posting here. This is becoming a safety issue. The dash creates a glare on the windshield that is nearly impossible to see through without the use of polarized sunglasses. At a minimum, i just want to find something that will remove or reduce the glare by dulling the shiny spots. |
