Dash Melting!
 
Hopefully that grabbed your attention! So My car sits outside during the middle of the day while I'm taking summer school and it's starting to get into the 90s. I get in it today and notice the top of my dashboard is very sticky and soft. Feels like I can rub off the material with my finger almost. I have no window tint or sunshade. Its only going to get hotter so...

Can anyone recommend a good fitted sunshade? :yum:

Cutted cardboard.

I'm cheap!

Bought this one years ago and really like it, when I remember to use it. Fit is great, and not one of those roll up ones. Fits fairly well behind one of the seats but can slide around, I many times put it in the hatch area and reach for it (have long arms).
I park in garages at home & work now so forget many times when I am out & about.

That one actually looks like the Covercraft one I'm looking at on Amazon. Probably the same one. Hard to beat Amazons prices!

The UVS100 is the next purchase I'll be making for the Z. Seems to get good reviews from what I've read.

... Seems like another Nissan problem... FUUCK... Report it to corporate, maybe we can get a recall going in the next few years like they did with the FXs and the Gs (if I'm not mistaken)

Actually I just looked at my brothers 2005 G35. It's got a leather dash, but DAM it doesn't get any better over time! Definitely go buy yourself one if you haven't yet.

Yep so it's the same one. Only question is now what color?

Green Ice
Blue Metallic
Gold

How exciting :ugh2:

I have the heat shield brand for the nismo and my other vehicles. Fits perfect and combined with my tints the inside stays cool. I don't drive the nismo much but with the tommy kaira shift knob baking in black car in sun I wanted to keep temps down.

I've had heat shield brand in my accord from new in 2008. After almost 100k miles and sitting outside my dash and interior still look like brand new. And 08 accords were known for issues like leather separation on center console in sun etc.

Same one I use and no issues with dash melting.

I'm digressing a bit, but you should get those 80s louvers on the rear hatch glass. That would be so bad ***!
