Not sure what you mean, but IF it's from sun damage coat it with 303.

How is Aerospace 303 going to work out on transparent plastic? Especially when it's already damaged?

The original description/location of the damaged part wasn't the clearest I've seen. If the original posting had included the later picture I wouldn't have made such an egregious error

It sounded like the front facing plastic covering the top of the dash. The NASA-developed 303 is supposed to be effective at reducing UV damage. I know it works particularly well on vinyl tops and outdoor furniture. I'll try not to make the same mistake again...
