Styling Sticky surround

[Leroypanda]

Just gone to clean my new to me car and the plastic surround the Speedo/tacho was very sticky, upon gently scraping it it appears the plastic is melting.

This one of those they all do it things?

I got the same issue, it's been fixed with the 2011+ models if I'm not wrong, but it's a pain. Some people did some wild stuff with it and fixed it but it's not worth the hassle - using acetone, gunk remover and all sort of sticky residue remover things, some people managed to fully melt their plastics with acetone+other things. Replacing the tacho with a clean secondhand part might be an option but I'm not sure if it's locked down via software - meaning you can't use another tacho from a different car... I just decided not to bother with it.

Thanks, thinking I might get some self adhesive carpet or similar cut to shape and cover it.

Tried that too it might resolve it but you need to have a steady hand which I don't have
