Good answers, but not to the question!
Ppl, read! You're giving good, valid answers, but not to what the poster is asking, i.e. dash cover - not on the vertical surface the OPer is asking about, i.e. scratches in the rubberized coating - not in the plastic.
As to subsequent changes in design, seems they kept moving this rubberized $hit around from year to year. I have it on the top, flat surfaces, but only the side panels, not the center panel that houses the heat/ac outlets, radio head, controls, etc. Also the ends on my assist handle. Still in the door pull bezels.
What an absolute stupid concept for a finish, but as I don't remember this finish, noticable to the touch, on my '00 when I bought it new, I'm of the belief it is a degredation of the finish over time, caused by, most probably cabin temperature heating from sun, etc. and/or a possible reaction to ultraviolet light.
