I'd heard it was uv, degassing and plasticizer leaching combo

at least I've heard all 3 explanations. Besides uv effects on bonding, over time the trapped gasses in the cells leach out (esp. when heated) and cause dashboard shrinkage. The plasticizers also dissipate over time, which is what some I've heard say about silicone - that it accelerates the plasticizer leach (sounds a bit wild though).
Anyway, I bought a dash cover & use a reflector in the summer to boot.
