Peeling Console faceplate

I started to notice a bit of very slight peeling around the edge of the center console screen (CUE) but thought nothing of it.

Seen here:



Well I was given a loaner ATS for a couple days and the faceplate looked like THIS:



Has anyone else noticed this degradation of the faceplate? I'm only 23k miles in, I'd hate the see at 100K!

I don't use any harsh cleaning liquids so I don't think that could be it. I'm thinking I might have to bring this up with my dealer soon.

I know you said you don't use anything harsh, but I'd look at the label of the product you're using. My guess is a cleaner most likely caused that. The manual states not to use glass cleaner on it. I normally just use a dry microfiber. I also have a cleaner specifically for nav screens. Its alcohol based instead of ammonia. I think you'll have a very hard time getting that covered under warranty. The entire unit would need to be replaced. Keep us posted on this.

Yup, you can add that to my list of things. I just happened to notice it one day and had no idea how something like that could have happened. Despite knowing there is no way I could have scratched it like that I assumed somehow it had gotten scratched despite me being the only driver. Never bothered to ask the dealer about it because I just assumed that they would say I scratched it somehow.
