Actually, not just heat/UV. Same things have happened to Ferraris that sit in the garage a whole lot.

Personal example: Since late 2015 till this day, my Z has sat in the garage for majority of the time, driven for maybe 3k miles total at the most. Car gets driven for fun mostly when sun is down. The sticky dash developed during this time. It's an 09 that just turned 36k miles.

My G also has this sticky dash issue. It's a 2010 with 50k miles. Garage kept at home and work.

On the bright side, I applied some 303 UV Protectant Spray about 2 months ago, and the dash on both cars have remained sticky-free. Knock on wood.
