Default Dash makes cracking sound in thw winter?

Does anyone experience cracking from the plastic around the navigation system area while the truck is warming up in the winter time? I never have this problem in the summer only in the winter, it drives me nuts like the truck interior was built with cheap plastic. Is there a fix because i don't think there can be one, just poor quality materials.

There's a company that makes a kit to fix that. I'll try and find that name......

I have dash cracking when its hot and cooling down. It seems like the sea of plastic dash cover.......but even weirder is the rubber window moldings do the same thing. That is a head scratcher.
