Default interior plastic discoloration?

The plastic under my driverside window and the back passenger window on the same side is discoloring (to a lighter shade). Has anyone else had this happen. That side of my car isn't parked in the sun more than the other side, plus the car is only like 2 months old.

Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm not sure whether I should do anything.

I love my car, otherwise.

Default Re: interior plastic discoloration?

Do you use a plastics/interior trim protectant like Armoral ?

If you do not, I suggest you do - especially- if the car is parked in the sun for extended periods of time. A product like Armoral can often restore the original look of the plastics in addition to making them less vulnerable to the suns rays as well as other airborne pollutants and chemicals.

I have also had my car for 2 months and I have not noticed this. I am parked in the sun whenever the sun is out. I have been using armorall like MSantos suggested, however. I have an ivory interior. What color is yours?
