I just bought an 04 silverado and the dash is peeling. It looks like a very thin coating is peeling off in a few spots. Has anyone had any problems with the dash?

 

yes on both of my 04's. it's jsut a little bit directly uner the rearview mirror. My old regular can was worse then my VHO is.

 

the dash is a painted surface, don't use harsh chemicals to clean it - it only needs a damp rag to wipe down. People have been reporting this problem with 99+ trucks for a while, some "protectants" are actually reacting with the dash paint causing damage, it's not vinyl like the old days

 

Well I just got it. I bet carmax used something powerful to clean it and screwed it up. It's still under the gm warantee. Do you think I can get it replaced under warentee?

 

Take it to the dealer and ask if they will replace it under WARRANTY.

 

won't hurt to ask

 

multiple dealers wouldn't fix mine. but it doesn't matter now, warranty is up, thank god.

 

ArmorAll products lead to the dash peeling ****!!! My friends 2000 did it horrible and he used ArmorAll all the dam time. You could peel the paint off easily with a fingernail. 303 Prodcuts makes a cleaner/protectant that to date have caused me zero problems with my dash. After 4 years!

 

the dealership warrantied mine but a few weeks later i left an air freshner on the dash up by the vents and forgot about it, when I saw it up there it was to late and the dash already started peeling from the heat i guess. Take it off and color match it to the outside color of your truck, it would look better and last longer IMO

 

Hmmm, I'm glad I haven't used anything on my dash. I just wipe it off with the California Dash Duster.
