shollis1@jam.rr.com 07-26-2005, 11:34 PM Anyone developed a prob with the metallic gray paint/coating around the steering wheel's volume, cruise, etc. knobs? I noticed mine started to rub/scratch off in my '04 a few months ago leaving unsightly black patches around the buttons. Now it seems like a good sneeze will remove more of the paint. My dealer said it was NORMAL wear & tear. Anyone? 92TripleBlack 07-26-2005, 11:47 PM Anyone developed a prob with the metallic gray paint/coating around the steering wheel's volume, cruise, etc. knobs?

My Inifinit has the same button setup as the armada with the same paint, etc. After 38K, no wear and I use them continuously. :cool: adjmcloon 07-27-2005, 09:27 AM I don't have wear around my steering wheel buttons as I have a dash kit and they're aluminum now, but I have some chips around my a/c knobs. I just figure it's another trade off (along with the rattles) for the great engine/tranny. Maybe with the '06 models Nissan will start focusing more on the interior materials. I know they did a complete redesign of the Altima interior after many complaints. My Tahoe's interior (although a little dated) had much better materials and held up very well. The engine/tranny weren't nearly as good as the Nissan though. Reckon it's all about trade-offs.

Not sure what to do about it, if anything. jweek 07-27-2005, 12:51 PM Anyone developed a prob with the metallic gray paint/coating around the steering wheel's volume, cruise, etc. knobs?

My dealer said it was NORMAL wear & tear. Anyone? I had the same problem with the volume controls (left side) on my steering wheel - dealer replaced it under warranty. ockevin 07-28-2005, 02:11 AM The dealer ( Douglas Nissan, Huntington Beach, CA) replaced my volume controls area because of the flaking, all under warranty. 92TripleBlack 07-28-2005, 10:01 AM It could be that my '05 has a different finish than the '04 as I see no wear and know they updated the interior plastics. ;) bootyologist24 07-28-2005, 12:57 PM Mine chipped and I had it replaced a month ago thru the dealership. Had my mada since 03/11. Bout to get my rattling side mirrors fixed as well when the parts come in lurker 01-11-2008, 02:59 PM I know...I know.... reviving an old thread (:D) , but wondered if anyone had found a source for the stereo control plate that wasn't $108... :eek: Mine was replaced (no charge) a couple years ago when it was in for some other work, but after a call to the same dealer they tell me I have to order not just both sides (for the cruise too), but the whole wad including the electronics/controls... No way I'm paying $100 for a piece of nicer plastic...I'm tempted to strip the rest off and sand/spray it Krylon black... Other options? Anyone? :confused: armadadd 01-11-2008, 03:21 PM mines started to discolored as well Looking foward to see someone with any ideas... Kailo 01-11-2008, 03:37 PM mines started to discolored as well Looking foward to see someone with any ideas... I can hardly read the lettering on mines was thinkin of just to repaint them or wait until I upgrade to a wood dash kit... JL1RYH 01-11-2008, 06:33 PM My 04 LE had same problem but I did not do anything since replacement part was expensive. It's funny that parts with both sides is chaper than one side. http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=25552-A60 | ||
