how to stop dash splitting
I think I see a split forming in my dash right above the instrument cluster where the dash is at it's closest to the steering wheel. In other words, at the thinnest part of the dash. It hasn't actually split and may just be the 'grain' of the material but I don't want it to get any worse if it is actually starting to split. What can I do about it? Is there something I can treat it with to make it more supple, or pliable? Is this a typical problem for C5s? I've only had my car for 4 days and just noticed it today.

Avoiding the sun, and to a much lesser degree avoiding oxygen is really it, but that picture isn’t bad as others have mentioned.
I thought I was on top of things but yours must be pretty nice if that’s the main concern.
