Another Sticky Dash Issue

J370Z-Cdn · 06-24-2024, 05:41 PM

Has anyone tried these products (https://stickydashfix.com/collections/nissan) to fix their sticky and or cracked dashboard? It looks like they have a filler product and a 370Z color matched sticky dash cure product. Are their products any good?

I'm buying it now including the filling just to treat the dash ends where the door cards close to, ya mine's cracked there too. Because it's cracked on the ends that never see UV leads me to believe it's a treatment product problem, at least in my case. I'll update the thread with how it goes, dashmat covers the rest. .

Thanks everyone for posting all their updates!

I've been watching this thread for a while now. My 2010's dash started getting a little sticky in certain areas. I have less than 18K miles and the car has always been garaged. For those of you who ended up getting a dash mat, I'm curious if your dash started to stick onto to the underside of your dash mat?

Wow hard to believe sun, heat, and UV are the cause then. My 2010 in florida was fine until about 2018 when I started using 303 protectant on it, then it quickly spider webbed, it's atrocious. As a result, I feel it's certain protectants reacting with the dash causing the cracking or it at least accelerates the UV and heat theory.

My dash mat does not stick the the dashboard underneath.

Hard to believe 303 would cause any damage. It has to be used sparingly and completely buffed off when using it. Plus, 8 years of doing nothing and then trying to put something on it? I use it , so I hope that's not the case.

I agree, it’s not the 303. Also, Rusty had used 303 on his dash for god knows how long now.

I own 3 samples that developed to various degrees of “melt” all on their own. Two of which I had used nothing but swifter duster for the few yrs prior to the “melt”. One was a took-off I purchased, that one sat in the original owner’s attic, because race car.

I use it on many other substrates without issue. I bought the car in 2016 so how the dash was treated prior to my ownership is beyond my knowledge; however, I only used 303 and they the cracking started. FWIW, sits in the garage all week as well, that's why I have a hard time believe the damage is solely a heat/UV issue.

Thanks for letting me know about the dash mat not sticking.

thanks for posting the info. the ultimate test is whether it turns shiny under the hot sun for a few days.
