V36 Coupe Dash Problems

[Justin370GT]

Does anyone know wtf is going on with my dash

Wen it heats up slightly it goes tack n looks like it's sweating

Once cooled down looks chalky

Leaves no residue wen you rub your hand or a cloth over

So bizzar

Pretty much gona but a whole new dash from Nissan for 1200

Can anyone shed some light on this topic

Thanks

A lot of threads about it on myG37.

Seems to be cars that have had a lot of sun exposure over their life.

Mine has a touch of it too in a couple of spots, just gets a bit sticky when its left in the sun.

I always us a sunshade behind the screen when I park it & it seems to keep it in check.

There was talk of trying to get Nissan to do a recall, but I dont think that went anywhere.

Big job replacing the dash.

Cheers Mate.

Yeah Nissan would probly be like I don't think so

I might ask at my local they are pretty good at gettin around that sort of thing like recalls n warrentee issues even past the date.

Mines hammered a

I gotta pull it all part anyway to replace a steering wheel bezel so might just do the dash

Iv got a q60 speedo going in also.

Seems to be a problem from several manufacturers around 2007 to 2009. I left mine out in the sun for a bit and then 'polished' the sticky off with some bug and tar remover. That does work. Apparently acetone might help also, but be careful.

Edit: I should mention to wipe clean with water when finished

Oh right that's handy to know

Is this a permanent fix?
