Sticky Passenger Airbag Cover
Has anyone dealt with this issue? My passenger side airbag cover is sticky and I tried to clean it with some Armor All but that made it worse. I was wondering if there were anything else to clean it, could I plasti dip it or is this just normal?

Most likely the material its made out of, probably some type of butyl compound. Certain types of solvents/acids and chemicals will break that material down over time and it gets sticky/nasty.
This isnt a joke, but smell it. If it stinks (like vomit) then that will confirm theres some form of butyl rubber in it and its breakdown is putting off butyric acid.
