Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Tacky 512TR interior

[Doug and Terri Anderson (dnt]

Paul questions "Out of  curiosity - What is / where is this 'sticky stuff' 
?? ??Paint on a replacement??"

Paul - my guess is that the part is a true rubber of sorts - hard when it 
leaves the factory but exposed to ozone, the unstable oxygen strips the 
bonding sulfur molecules out of the mix and just leave a tacky latex.  Cheap 
way to go in this day and age.  As if a car manufacturer doesn't think the 
car will ever see sunshine?  Man, this aint the 20s.  Then again, I could be 
wrong
