Description of the problem	The dashboard of my 2008 ultima has melted into a shiny rubber causing serious visibility issues while driving during sunny bright days. I resorted to putting a plastic rectangle to cover the reflection on my morning commute, but now that plastic is stuck and semi-permanently attached to the dashboard from the stickiness. The attached pictures were taken on my driveway. Notice the reflection of the rock wall and white garage on the left side of the dashboard. During morning or afternoon sunny conditions, the glare becomes unbearable. This issue seems to be very prevalent specifically with a 2008 model year altima. Not 2007 and not 2009 so clearly it's a defect and a hazardous one too visually. Also there are unknown consequences of the fowel tar like order within the interior of the car most prominently present afte the car sits closed for a while.
