| The strip of plastic that runs behind the dashboard, closest to the windshield cracked right down the middle. took it to the dealership and they stated it was probably because of temperature. in order to fix the crack the entire dash would have to be replaced. i use a protectant on my interior and a windsheild shade as well when i leave my car parked. the crack is very unsightly on such a new car and i cannot afford to replace my entire dashboard.*ak | |||
