Some Lexus NX200t owners report experiencing dashboard damage under the middle A/C vent, characterized by cracks and peeling due to sun exposure and UV damage. This type of deterioration can leave the surface feeling powdery or dry, necessitating careful attention for restoration. In cases where the crack is superficial and only affects the surface, owners may not need to replace the entire dashboard. To mitigate further damage and preserve the car's interior aesthetics, some owners consider repairing the affected area. It is recommended to inspect the damage closely, explore repair options rather than replacement for minor cracks, and consult a professional automotive technician for guidance. Additionally, implementing preventive measures, such as using sunshades or parking in shaded areas, can help protect the dashboard from future UV exposure.
