My 2008 nissan altima coupe dashboard is melting. It started with a small spot on the dash, i thought it was moisture from the air conditioner. A few days later the spot was getting larger. I felt it and it felt like sticky clear glue. Now it's getting larger almost all the way across the dash. I took it to the nissan dealership and the guy said he have never seen anything like this. He told me the only thing he can…

My dash is melting! It was fine until april 2014 when the weather started getting warmer and the black dash became tacky to the touch. It has now begun melting with shiny/sticky globs all over and makes a horrible glare on the windshield making it hard to see with the glare from the dash. I have tried all sorts of products to see if that would help but nothing does and it is getting worse. *js
