Glue is bleeding thru the dash on my 2008 nissan altima. It is causing a glare on the windshield that makes it hard to see, so bad that i have to lean over to find a spot that does not affect my vision of the traffic in front of or coming towards me. This is a road hazard and left unattended will eventually cause a wreck. I also have a couple of other problems, the front seats are loose and slid when i had to slam…

My dash became shiny and sticky over a very short period of time. I first tried soap and water and then goobegone. And nothing would help it. It looks as if it is melting. It is parked in the garage most of the time. The shinyness is reflecting on the windshield at times and makes it very dangerous to drive because i can't see through it very well.

Another melting dashboard; this time in north alabama. It's starting from what i've seen in pictures the normal starting places, which is at the defrost air vents, the ledge between the instrument panel and defrost air vents (where the dash appears as a two piece comes together) and right above the three air vents. The glare it creates on my windshield is unbearable, and making visibility very poor.

The dashboard of my vehicle is melting and causing a glare on the windshield that makes it hard to see especially in direct sunlight. This has been an issue in my vehicle for years. There has already been a lawsuit that was settled in florida where i previously lived but nothing was sent out to inform drivers of this. The time frame for that settlement has now passed and i have moved to another state.
