Leather Dash Care
I have been detailing background of 20 years so I have seen this on quite a few dash boards in Ferraris, Porsches, etc. The sun dries the dash out causing the leather to shrink. Then it starts pulling away from the glue under their dash. My research tells me it's a combination of UV damage and cheap leather conditioners and/or armor all. Most leathers have a protective coating from the factory which aftermarket silicone based products diminish over time w UV light exposure. The best way to care for leather dash is used two white towels with only warm water on one the other to dry the dash. White because the towels let you know if your are removing the dye or wiping to hard. The dash board will have a natural matte look. Then buy a windshield UV screen for those hot summer days.
I know it's to late for my tip but your dash will need to be pulled out of the car and reupholstered with a new hyde or factory replacement dash unfortunately.
