Default Dash is shrinking (pics added)

My dash is rolling up along the ends and around the center defrost vent.
I've taken it to a few places, and they say there is nothing they can do.

Has anyone had this happen?

What Audi? Year? Etc.

What do you mean by dash rolling up on the ends? Are you talking about the soft cover?

Yikes man, that blows. Where do you live!? Heat and chemicals are the only things that I can think of that would get that crap started...I dunno though the severity it is what's so interesting. Ideally, Audi should replace that because that is some major work. Is the layer that is peeling off stiff or pliable?That will make a difference in my opinion.

I know this doesn't help, but I haven't seen this before.

I've seen heat create hairline cracks before as where I live it gets to 130 F in the summer (in the shade!). I wonder if this is due to a not so extreme rise in temperature.

It has to definitely be a result of heat. We have a 89 Saab in florida and it is showing the exact same thing on some parts or the interior. There is like a sort of shrinking and some bubbling. Just very strange for a newer car like this.

I spoke too soon. Just this week, I noticed the right hand side of my dash is now curling up [:@]
