Default Dash overheating?

I've noticed on some really warm days if I've been in my car for a while, the dash looks almost like its fading away in the heat, and when I touch it its definitely hot. Has anyone had any problems with theirs overheating, and possibility of it getting ruined somehow?

Put some 303 on it. It protects against UV and will renew that deep black look without giving it that overly greasy shine.

Yep, I agree. Def invest in a few bottles of aerospace 303 protectant. Great stuff

You can also get the sunshields available from Cee Bailey's custom fitted for the S2000 here.

I've got the windshield one, and it definitely does it's job (and fits like a glove). Storing it I just fold both pieces in half and throw them in the trunk. They fit pretty nicely in that little depression in the trunk lining.
