Toyota Corolla 2007: Dashboard upholstery cracked

Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Corolla Toyota Corolla Advice Toyota Corolla 2007

I’ve owned my 2007 Toyota Corolla from new, it has only done 8000 km. It has been under cover all its life, but the dashboard upholstery is all cracked, falling apart and has gone sticky and sort of melting. What could be causing this?

Normally you would expect it to be caused by being left out in the sun, but you say you haven’t. But while you say it’s been under cover all it’s life, it must have been taken out and driven at some time. Do you leave it parked in the sun for lengthy period at the shopping centre, or somewhere else you go? Check those places you park it for a hat source that might be causing it.
