Fear not!

All these parts are replaceable. Did you buy this preowned? Maybe the previous owner did not take care of it.

Might be a cleaning product chemical use prior and that layer reacted to heat causing this.
Or just defect in general from Factory
Maybe see if Dealership will cover replacement pieces under warranty.

I live where the temperature is about 122 F and I have never seen a 3is melting inside !
Maybe your cleaning products are too harsh, also go for high quality tint and open a window during hot hours.

Wondering... do you have that protective plastic film on these parts that haven't been removed yet. If that's not it, so strange!

+1 on some products/film being used on the interior. I once had a car where the previous owner used one of those "magic towel" to wipe the interior and coat it with a layer of wax. It was an ugly sight under direct sunlight when it started to melt, took awhile to rub it off with some alcohol solvent.
