Paint? I just assumed it's plastic all the way through. What does it look like under the paint?

Dark shiny plastic.
I'll take a pic and post later.

The paint on the lower glove box release button my mine chipped off after about 1 year of use. I had it replaced under warranty when I was in for service.

that's good to hear!
I'm curious if I can upgrade my whole dash to the newer type the '06 has. I have not seen the '07 if there is any difference. My dog put some scratches in mine.

My glove box looks very similar to yours on my 2005 plus the drvier side front door has a slick spot were my arm rests. I wear look sleeve shirts the majority of the time and do use sun screen or lotion. I'm glad to learn I am not the only suffering this problem. Also my front door seal has split lengthwise. tectulsa

Do your passangers have claws?

Could it be that your fingers have chemicals on them that are weakening the paint?

I should have done that. When mine chipped off I found a thin rubber with a sticky back and made a cover for it.

Yep, happened to me too except my lower glovebox button is the one peeling away. I've already replaced it once. I'm gonna ask them to replace it again. I have no idea why it peels so easily.
