Ford have said its from the sun when you get in it melts so when you grab the wheel it strips it. I have a fgg6et with 120k on it and the interior in that is like new , the Mondeo hasn't faired as well. I wont be renewing to a Mondeo in 20k I will be going a Passat which is much better.
Strange as no problems at all with interior trim inside my MC. Apart from bloody Beagle hairs on the upholstery and its not even my dog.

Yesterday the steering wheel was so damn hot you could not hold it. Car always parked there in full sun and no visible damage to the wheel. Cannot find the old foil used on my Focus a couple of years ago so eBay or Supacheap here I come.

A bloody remarkable car that never faulted and no interior wear and tear damage with 240K on the clock.
