| Description of the problem | Dashboard recal as the title aptly suggests, my camry's dashboard has melted due to the extreme heat. My windshield has no tint and i sometimes forget to put up the windshield foil cover when i park. The dashboard now feels very sticky and when i leave the car under the sun for a long stretch, i can actually rub off some of the dashboard's rubber coating surface if i touch it. It also has several scratches due to accidental hits from fingernails and such, and a lot of scratches from the bottom of the windshield foil cover (yes, the dashboard is now that soft). I'm afraid to apply anything on it as this might just make its condition worse. My last option is to use a dashboard cover to hide the scratches and prevent the dashboard from getting damaged further. My concerns with this option are: where do i buy a good/decent-looking dashboard cover for my car? (my dashboard is color black). I'm based in fort buchanan, guaynabo and would this get in the way of the passenger airbag? Any other suggestions aside from my idea above, please do not hesitate to express them. Help desperately needed. Thanks [xxx] [xxx] today i have attempted in contacting you on the number you provided with a negative result. The number rings and immediately goes into a occupied mode.
