Yes Australian heat and Volvo plastic is not a good mix. Problems occur with the fake wood trim especially center console and the delamination of the inside door panels. I changed over the original red walnut to the redwood from the facelift model and replace the drivers side door card (got one from US where it is passenger side and so had not much wear). My dash cover is fine but there is cracking on the cover area of the dash next to windscreen (area that holds alarm light). The dash mounds are fine and I might see if I can get someone to repair the cracks in situ. Just now need to find a redwood steering wheel from someone honest!
