Yep, that's a scuttle panel. They can look terrible if not cared for.
I have managed to make mine look much better with continued plastic product enhancements like AG, I have not tried the peanut butter trick though, has anyone?1998 Defender 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF

Tried a few things over the years to clean it up, she needed treated with a new one, 10 min job to fit
I just stick some silicone spray on it when I feel like it. Not worth the expense/bother of anything else, IMO, or if it's really bad, a new one is probably best.

Mine is frayed round the edges and turning grey. I am sure it lets water in. If they are not expensive and easy to fit I may get one

Another year straight through with no advisories
Was thinking about selling as I need a van, but she seems to be getting better with age, maybe keep her another year to make it 10 year of ownership
