Hold off replacing melting panels
Guys,
My mom has a Solara and her car has melting/cracking panel issue like ours. Toyota said hold off on replacing them because they are about to release a recall.
Not sure how true this is but my parents a pretty good relationship with Toyota as they've been purchasing Toyotas for 20+ years. They offered to pay half initially but this recall is supposedly all expenses paid.
Take care,
Chris

I really hope this is true.
Mine is barely starting to show signs of a melting dash, but it is very minimal, and I'm already annoyed.
It's that feeling when there's a piece of lint on the dash, and you're carefully trying to blow it off instead of using your fingers or a piece of cloth...
I can't imagine those who have it bad..

i replaced mine under recall fully covered by the dealer here in Puerto Rico Lexus of San Juan. Bought my is 250 2008 used in 2012 with the interior melting and oozing black tar lol. Went to the lexus dealer they checked to see if interior replacement had alredy been done they said well your good to go and made an appointment drop it off early in the morning and picked it up in the afternoon with brand new dash and door panels 
i got a 2008 with 2012 interiors for free and couldnt be happier

I have dog hair stuck to mine. Its nearly impossible to get off. And when I try to get behind my radio, the upper part of the dash starts to break off. My dash looks like a dog chewed on it.
