Anyone else notice their interior plastics (tops of the door cards, rear deck under the glass) have gotten sticky?

I think due to UV/heat exposure. I haven't applied chemicals to the plastic. Car was only assembled 4 months ago, and I've experienced this on multiple S650s. It's not the end of the world, but scary this is happening only a few months into ownership. I don't live in a hot desert climate, and I park inside a garage.

I assume this is just "normal" for whatever material Ford is using now... anyone else have this?

That's kinda alarming. I'm on my 4th Mustang all different generations and never seen nor heard of this happening. All my cars lived outside with no Sun shades.

Maybe the dealer applied something when the car was detailed before delivery. Have not heard of this happening here in AZ.

I'm almost at 30k miles, just checked and nothing. Are you close to the ocean? Maybe the salty air could be causing it?

Another thought is if you had window tint applied they used something that left a sticky residue on the trim.
