| Description of the problem | Cpsc:this winter i was noticing and having even more problems with glare and sun and lights at night reflecting on these shiny "melted" areas, making it difficult to see the road in the right conditions. As previously stated, my dash was all originally a black matte finish and glare was never a problem prior to the dash material appearing to break down. I decided to google "melting dashboards" to see what i could find to fix or repair, or reports, etc. *bf updated 08/31/2017*js ... Updated 10/03/17 *bf updated 10/25/17 *bf *js |
