The color is medium slate gray, and I believe it is molded in that color (vs. painted) as it is consistent throughout the front, back and edges.
The car is currently winterized. Ever since I originally purchased it new, it has never been stored in direct sunlight for long periods during driving season. So, I can't believe it's UV degradation.
Has anyone else come across this? If so, is there a fix? Thanks for any thoughts.

I have found that the dealerships/sellers spray 'armor all' type products to sell the vehicles in a flashy looking way. I heard about the damage these type products do to interiors, unless you continue to use it. Seems quite a way to insure future sales of these products down the line, marketing?? Good luck in finding a repair you like.
