Dash headboard is very sticky and when driving in sunny conditions there is a really bad glare.

I'm having a glare on my windshield (when I'm driving and particularly in sunny conditions) from my dashboard that has melted. It's become very shiny and makes it difficult to see when driving. I have tried cleaning it but because of the substance it is not possible to clean it.

Dashboard melts in the sun creating a sticky shiny surface that reflects onto the windshield and inhibits visibility. I cannot see out of the car during the day anymore due to the reflection.

My dashboard has become extremely shinny and the glare is impeding on my visibility in the forward area. I hit a garbage can on a sunny day. Thank god it wasn't a person. This seems to be a defect in the manufacturing of the dashboard material used by Toyota.
