I posted ths on qw too. I really need some help here.
Think of your dashboard, just below the center vents.
About a month ago a little black spot appeared there (my interior is green).
Then about a week ago it appeared much larger.
Apparently the green is a soft finish applied to the black base material. It is shrinking back (down) and therefore increasing in size. I can use my thumb to push it back up and almost under the vent.
What I need first is instruction for removing the vent without doing damage.
The next thing I thought I'd do is somehow acquire some of that vinyl material that they make stickers from for cars. It seems to be impervious to heat and cold.
Next I would push the shrinking stuff up as far as possible and use the vinyl material as tape to secure it and then replace the vent.
Does anyone know where I can get a piece of that material, say clear or plain black. I'm not looking for anything with a fancy label or logo on it.
Next, does anyone have a better solution?
Is there, perhaps a touch-up kit for this?
Would that "plasti-something" that folks are using to repair their soft-touch buttons be another possible solution?
Please post your thoughts and instructions.
Thanks.

Based on the additional comment at the other place I would try Goo Gone. (NOT...Goof Off, Goo Gone is very orange in odor, Goof Off is more acetone like.)

Thanks for your thoughts, but Goo Gone is pretty much just diluted lighter fluid. I don't think I want to consider using acetone on plastic; melting would be the likely result I think.
BTW, do you know how to remove the vent?
Thanks again.
