Not sure of the official name....but it's that small well on a car door right above the handle.....you grab to pull it shut, store change in, yada, yada.

Well, my daughter left a crayon laying in there and it has melted.

Any tips for removing crayon from car vinyl?

You may want to try freezing it with short blasts of freeze spray used for removing chewing gum from carpet. Then chip it away gentely so as to not damage the car. Cleaning up with a good solvent such as rubbing alocohol should remove the rest. But be aware the rubbing alchohol is going to remove all of the armor all or anything like that on the dash making it look different. That is not going to be damage but the orginal clean surface of the area. Just clean the whole area if desired and reapply a good protectant.
