Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your G-PLUS Upper Dash Pad Panel:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild automotive interior cleaner to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.
• UV Protection: Although the material is UV-protected, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can still cause wear over time. Consider using a sunshade when parking for extended periods.
• Avoid Scratches: Be careful not to place sharp or heavy objects on the dash panel that could cause scratches or dents.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your dash pad panel, consider the following:

• Poor Fitment: Double-check that all fasteners are correctly installed and tightened. Ensure the panel is properly aligned with the dashboard contours. Sometimes, slight adjustments are needed during installation.
• Unusual Noises: If you hear rattling or squeaking, verify that the panel is securely fastened and not loose. Inspect for any foreign objects that might be trapped underneath.
• Surface Damage: For minor scuffs or marks, a specialized automotive interior trim restorer might help. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
