Not permanently, but every time the car has been parked for a few days (I'm an NYC driver and use the car sporadically) the nav screen gets very reluctant to pop up when the button is pressed. After that it's generally ok for the duration, but next time I drive it - same thing happens.

When it sticks I have to pull it up gently by the top edge with my finger, and once it's free of the fully down position it rises up the rest of the way without much resistance.

It seems to me as though there might be a sort of rubber bumper at the bottom of the screen that softens the impact as it's lowered, and that after 5 1/2 years of aging, that rubber might have gotten slightly sticky, causing it to sort of 'glue' itself to the bottom.

So my question is, has anyone else experienced this symptom, and if so, have they found a viable solution for it that one can do oneself? I'm sure Infiniti would be happy to take a couple hundred bucks from me to fix it, but obviously I'm trying to avoid that route.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

where in ny are you? i have a complete unit. radio, faceplate, controls and nav screen. $200 its yours

 

I just never push my nav down.. so this doesn't happen. The only time I push it down is when I'm storing the car for winter.

Aside from that, there's really no point to pushing it down, since you're just putting extra wear on moving parts that are going to fail at some point from constant use and most likely fail after the warranty is up(like now!).
