One of the panels on the left side of the dash and the binnacle above the clocks has started to shrink from the sun. Anyone had the retrimmed? And any recommendations?

Many Thanks

It's a fairly common problem, especially at the transition to non-volatile compound adhesives. In my V8V it was the top of the passenger airbag panel and the "hockey stick" in front of that between it and the windscreen. In both cases the adhesive had let go at the edges. I had mine fixed by Works when my car was in for another issue - parts removed, re-stretched and re-glued by their trimshop. Been fine in the 3-odd years since
