Has anyone else experienced the rubberized portion of their dash starting to peel? I just took delivery yesterday. My fiance was resting her hand here on the dash while spinning the dial through the radio stations and the rubber portion of the dash started peeling. I thought it was a spec of dust and rubbed it with my hand and it started crumbling off. I hope I am the only one having this problem...

I think a guy who called himself "Red" here on the forum complained of this problem. Can't be sure as he suddenly disappeared as did his posts.

When I worked for an supplier of decorated injection molded parts to the auto industry we had lots of trouble with soft touch paint coming off due to certain lotions and cosmetics. That said, we replaced them under warranty.

Good to know! I'm going to see if I can get it replaced. If not, looks like it will be getting vinyl wrap. I can't believe how fragile it is!

Stopped by the local dealer yesterday. Their service advisor took pictures of my dash and is sending them up the chain.

If you are going to wrap it might as well go with leather my $0.02

Piece was replaced today. The coating on the new piece is definitely thicker than on the original piece that peeled.
