Default Light blue particles on dash

2016 F-Pace 30t AWD 63,000 miles.
I constantly find lots of small particles (typically 3/16" in size) of light blue thin plastic that can be vacuumed up . The material is very thin and is easily blown off the dash. I would really like to know where this stuff is coming from.

Got a pic? That is not something I've heard of happening.

That's highly unusual. Are you by chance getting rodents into the car that are chewing on things? Is it all across the dash or more in one area? There's not really anything that can fall onto the dash that looks like that normally.

That is very odd. If you clear it all away does more come back? Elsewhere in the car or just against the windscreen?

Any weird noises with the defroster on? Could the cabin filter cause this?
