The inspection given by the dealership is actually deceptive…

A couple of years ago i noticed that my dashboard was melting causing glare whilst driving. My warranty was expired and i didn't take it in to the dealer as i was sure it would be expensive to fix. The glare got to be so horrible that i ended up purchasing a dashboard cover. The vehicle does spend at least 8 hours parked in the sun monday thru friday.
