Default Notice the black coating on power window contols and headlight switch is wearing off...

And the plastic underneath is white... Looks really bad! Any fix for this? What a dumb idea to put a black coating over white plastic!

Default bring it in to your dealer for warranty replacement.

this is a fairly common issue. try searching for a little more info. i have had the window switches replaced, and am going in on monday to have the stereo replaced. all under warranty.

Default good luck...

...had this same problem,two diferent dealers refused to replace under warranty because it was deemed "normal wear and tear" therefore not covered.

Default the dealer already ordered my new radio and it is being replaced monday, under warranty.

no luck needed here. i have had no problems getting anything replaced under warranty. they actually recommended replacing it now before the problem gets any worse. just depends on the dealer i guess.
