Bubble in '08 dashboard

About a week ago, a small (about 1/2" in diameter) appeared on my dashboard...just to the right of the navigation screen. I part in a garage (both work and home) and live in Seattle, so it can't be the sun. And I don't clean it with anything other than Windex.

I've heard of this happening on the TSX. Anyone have this happen on a TL? Is there any hope to get it fixed? I was just about to sell my car, so the timing is horrible.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a pic of it? You may be able to speak to your dealer about it and see if they will cover it under the warranty.

Here is a pic...hopefully it shows up...

My concern would be that the car is now out of warranty.

Just call your dealer and talk to them. Looks like a piece they can swap out.

why are you even using windex in the first place? that has ammonia in it. you need to clean it with a mixture of woolite and use 303 or something afterwards. I cant speak of the dash, not sure if you can have just that one piece replaced.

I had the same thing happen to my drivers side door near the door lock. I've always been curious as to how it happened so if anyone could provide some insight that would be great
