Description of the problem	After about 5 years of owning my car (nissan altima coupe 08), i began to notice a sticky substance on my dashboard. After a little while i realized that it was actually melting. The melting spread to cover about 80% of the dashboard. As time passed, the stickiness has caused me to not be able to drive during mid-day hours because of the glare coming off the dashboard and hitting the windshield. Even with high end polarized sunglasses, i am scared of driving because there's too many things i can't really see on the road. Recently, in addition to the sticky melting dash it has began to crack along the edges. The side and back windows have been tinted since the day i bought the car in 07 and i used to use a sunshield for the front until the melting began becoming too messy to keep using.
