Agree, its maddening. I've had mixed results on my cars. Some peeled up after 8-10 yrs. Some are still going strong after 23. Strangely none of my cars had the brushed Aluminum dash, they all had the dark burled walnut. I wonder if they hold up better?
the wood in these pieces are razor thin, encased in some sort of resin. Epoxy is notoriously vulnerable to UV so maybe they use a polyester or vinylester (as used in marine environments) resin.
I imagine that its hard to get replacements. used will be a crap shoot for sure.
