I own and love a 1995 Bonneville. The plastic face plate around the gauges has turned into a gooy mess. It'* tacky sticky. The rest of the plastic is fine. Anyone know anything about this or have you had a similiar problem.

When you say plastic around the gauges..do you mean above, below or the clear that is over the gauges. (I'm hitting a junkyard this weekend if you need parts.)

I've seen the plastic dash trim on other cars got to pot. Some get gooey (like I think he'* describing) some "rust" (where you scrape the surface off with a fingernail)...

Only fix I've ever found is to replace them. No idea what causes it.

Mine has a haze right over the gas guage on the clear plastic. Feels like something dried on, but nothing will take it off. Dunno. I'm in the same boat with you.

Seriously tho replacing the plastic shouldn't be too hard, never heard of this problem before.
