If yours does, it is considered a defect and may be eligible for replacement or repair by its manufacturer. If you have a sticky dashboard on your hands, it pays to understand how it came about&mdash;not only to prevent it but also to extend the life of your dashboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some common reasons why a dashboard would melt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Excessive heat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving your car out in the sun for too long can cause its dashboard cover to melt, which makes it sticky to touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vinyl records have a melting point of around 160 to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. They can also soften at lower temperatures. Because vinyl dashboards are made from the same material, they can soften or melt at these temperatures, resulting in a sticky surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vehicle interiors can be around 50 degrees hotter inside the cabin than outside. Your vehicle can easily reach 160 degrees during the summer when outside temperatures can reach 110.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&rsquo;t have a garage and frequently have to park in an uncovered spot, it might be best for you to get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/sun-shade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"sunshade.\">sunshade.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your car&rsquo;s age<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you use a sunshade, it might not be enough to keep your dashboard from developing a sticky residue on the surface. If your car is old, its interior panel&rsquo;s vinyl layer may naturally strip off over time. If this is the case, you may still be able to clean it using the guide below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"perspective-widget\">\n        <div class=\"pt-child-wrap\">\n\n            <div class=\"pt-col-item1\">\n                <figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/dpr_auto,f_auto,q_auto\/carparts\/blog\/plugins\/amp\/avatar-comments\" class=\"com-thumb\" alt=\"Avatar of CarParts.com Research Team\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\">\n                <\/figure>\n                <p>\n                    <strong>Steven<\/strong> \n                    <span>User<\/span>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"pt-col-item2\">\n                <div class=\"protip-desc\">\n                    <div class=\"perspective-help-tip\">   \n                        <p>There&rsquo;s more than one way to look at an issue. &ldquo;Community Perspectives&rdquo; highlight authentic personal viewpoints and real-life experiences by the CarParts.com community, including our readers, experts, and product specialists, among others.

Slight antifreeze leaks from the heater core might not cause the odor, especially when not using the heater. However, they can result in coolant oxidizing (ethylene oxide). This can affect your lungs and nasal passages.
