Faded Scuttle Panel

Had 2 hours to kill in middle of nowhere whilst kids and swmbo were off coasteering so I started making a list of items to be looked at on the 2nd service (its quite a list!). The wiper arms have started rusting at the pivots but then I noticed the state of the scuttle panel. Its seriously faded and in a uneven way too, cant be right for a 18month old car and don't recall my previous D3s/4s looking this bad. Wondered if anyone else come across this?

Think they all have faded scuttle panels. Many remedies from minute bottles of snake oil that cost the earth to peanut butter rubbed on in copious amounts Rolling Eyes

Yours is under warranty though so just tell em to fix it Very Happy

Cheers guys didn't do a search as currently have dialup speed internet where we are staying (how did we survive before broadband?)

I've added it to the list for the dealers, lots of rusty bits and rattling things for them to look at too Confused

It would seem that the discos scuttle panel is made from a material that has the same resistance to UV as a ginger vampires scrotum.
I douse mine in silicone gel once a week and that just about keeps it good
