2008 Camry sticky dashboard

**steer** · September 13th, 2012 10:46 AM

every time the camry is exposed to the sun, the dashboard becomes sticky and shiny.

I've been to Big Bert's and they say that 10 out of 10 camrys and rav4s of that model have the same problem. and there is no way to correct that.

anybody here have the same problem?

how were you able to solve it?

i'm thinking of just ordering a custom made leather to cover the dashboard.

How come Camry and Rav4 has sticky dashboard? among the Toyota made vehicles.

Rubberized yung dash nila, di hard plastic.

pwede mo naman pa leather wrap yung dash board eh.. kaya lang mahal

any idea around how much?

so kung na leather wrap na, tuloy pa ding matutunaw yun dashboard pero hindi lang nakikita then sooner or later sisingaw din yun umoy?

we also have the same problem. same model 2008. puro scratch pa. So far ignoring it is it still working. ;) but a solution is much better.

yun kuko mo lagi din tumatama sa dash board kapag hahawakan mo top part ng manibela?

may nag suggest na gamitan ng Armour All to protect the soft plastic pero hindi ko pa na try.

update mo ako kung makahanap ka solution. thanks.

11/12/2012 emailed Toyota Philippines about Camry dashboard.

In between, Toyota called my up, made an ocular inspection of the problem.

12/13/2012 Toyota Q. Ave replaced dashboard free of charge!

Thank you Toyota!

Hmmm... this reminds me of the Prado's dashboard. Prior to any cracking, it went thru the wet and sticky phase. It was like you applied, no poured on, a thick layer of Armor All!
