Glovebox Release Button Paint is Peeling Off

**Tideland Prius** · 06-15-2005, 01:11 PM

Well, apparently our dash has some sort of paint or coating of something cause there's a little bit of that coming off off the lower glovebox release button.

I.m having the same problem with the upper release button. I wonder if this is something that would be covered under warranty. If this is truly painted on I suspect this will be an ongoing problem.

i believe it is covered under fit and finish. most dealers will honor it.

my sister keeps asking me why i dont take my car in to get it fixed. (she works for the Ford dealership EWWWUH!! but anyway...)

i dont because i dont want to take the time. i guess if it comes down to it, i will strip the rest off and repaint it my self.

i have also kicked around the idea of just taking the rest of the paint off and leaving it that way. the shiny surface underneath seems to hold up well. still no scratches on it and my paint chipped off at least 6-7 months ago. (banged my tripod on it)

ok good. i'll take it in some time. I need to get my foglights/lower air dam checked anyway. I think they're out of alignment.
