so my efforts of trying to save the panel from the sun are in vain for the past year since I got my Celi. Apparently the previous owner neg ligated Armor All on it and now its fading to a yellowish color.

any suggestions on how to to fix that? was thinking about removing it and painting it blue to match the rest of the interior.

FYI--after working on the dash, I noticed that the passenger air bag "door" (the official name for it) is not actually vinyl. It's hard plastic that is just painted. This probably explains why it always looks different from the rest of the vinyl covered dash. I test painted a junk "door" with some dark gray automotive primer, and the color matched perfectly. Black seemed to be too dark.
