I'm not sure if anyone knows this, but one of the MAJOR causes of dash peelage is using products on the dash that are harmful to it. One of the WORST and most common is Armor All. One you apply it, and it dries out, it will actually dry out the vinyl and cause it to contract. I had this happen on my 1989 Beretta GT. It had a PERFECT dash, and about a month after I used Armor All on it, it started to shrink and crack. I went to a Vinyl Repair shop and asked about getting it fixed, and that was the first words out of his mouth "Did you use Armor All on it!?".
You want to use a petrolium based product that lubricates the vinyl, not dries it out. Son of a Gun works GREAT. I've used it for 5 years now on all of my cars and I've had no problems - it doesn't last as long or make the dash NEAR as shiny as the Armor All did, but it's not peeling!
(Tint and Sunshades are still a great idea tho to help protect the rest of the interior!)
