Yes — this is a widespread issue.

The dashboard is made from low-grade hard plastic that:

Is not UV-resistant

Fades o r cracks within months under sunlight

Pakistan’s hot and dry climate, especially in cities like Lahore, Multan, and Karachi, accelerates material degradation.

✅ Conclusion: The dashboard plastic lacks proper UV protection o r climate resilience, making it unsuitable for local conditions.
