My Mazda3 dashboard is melting. I have never used any chemical substances to clean the interior of my car. I live in South Florida and I've recently been using a sunshade protector but that doesn't not seem to be helping. The glare from the dashboard affects my vision of the road. I constantly have to clean my windshield with mild dish soap because the residue transfer from my sunshade onto my windshield. The cost of replacing my dashboard is not included in my extended warranty package. I have complained to my Mazda dealer on multiple occasions, but I was told that I would have to pay $1,200 to replace this problem. Is there anything that can be done?
