Yep, dark + moisture seem to be the real culprit. I have 3 cases on my hand now, all developed under similar conditions. I also had an old Escort 8500 mounted in the Z, and the rubber cover on the coiled power cord did the same thing.
If the Z is being stored, I suggest:
- Be sure the dash is clean,
- Be sure the dash is protected (like the 303 spray)
- Put one of those moisture absorbing thing in the the interior.
