Cluster Hood Separating...:(

08 with 35,000 miles and the instrument cluster hood is separating from the control/buttons (see pic).

Anyone else seen this. New covers go for $400!!+ and it looks like a total PITA to change..think you even have to take the steering wheel off to get at it. I like my cars perfect this just kills me.

My car did it. Mention it at your next oil change, that's covered under warranty.

I have the same problem, although mine isn't as severe. I told the dealer last time I was there and they placed an order...

Yep same here.. Mine was replaced about 6 months ago.. along with my shift ****...

The glue they must have used was not put on well enough or the gauge cluster must get hit by high/cold temps to make the plastic warp.

Either way its kinda crappy...

warranty should take care of it...

Apparently Nissan buys their glue from the same manufacture that makes their piston rings....FAIL!
