[DML] Re: Brown Stains on A Grey Dash

[Steve Brodsky <impact.auto@xxxx>]

Several years ago my original dash developed a "brown stain". It actually
appeared like a "sunburn", with a pattern to it. It developed shortly after
using a dash cover during a hot Texas summer - the dash had previously
been uncovered but armoralled regularly. One afternoon during a particularly
hot day, I took the dash cover off and measured the surface temp of the
dash. It was over 150 F. These were not stains - they were scorch marks.
Two summers later the binnacle blistered badly and had to be replaced,
followed by two huge vertical splits in the dash where the, you guessed
it, "stains" were. Maybe too late for you but I'd suggest that you GET
RID OF THE COVER and go to an outside window cover or car cover. Because
of the very limited availability (I think the grey ones are gone) of dashes,
you might want to plan for the future and put one away

  I have some brown stains on my grey dash.  It is normally covered by a
dashmat and looks fine but was wondering if anyone has ever been able to get
these stains out.  The rest of the dash is fine and looks great... no cracks
etc..
  Thanks

I too was wondering about these stains.  I have a couple which are very
small.  I didnt try to remove them because of how small they are and because
I didnt want to damage the vinyl with the wrong chemical.  If anyone has had
a similar problem and found a solution I too would like to hear about it
