Hey Thanks for the Info I will check with my dealer ASAP. Kind of on a similiar subject has anyone else noticed a weird kind of rectangular shape appearing on top of their dash just above the glove box? It's almost like dust collects in this one area. I guess the best way to describe it is to say it looks like there is some type of support bracket just under neath the skin of the upper dash and it's pushing through...except it's not actually pushing through. I can see the outline though and it's really annoying me. When I use a cleaner like armor all or something similiar it looks better for a couple days but comes back??? Anyone else experience this problem??
