Dash Bubbling - anyone else? - Page 44 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Add me to the list of folks with this malady... just noticed mine is bubbling up in the area above the glove box. You can see it, feel it, and if you poke at it, you can hear it to. Sounds like they used some sort of adhesive that dries hard (then loses its grip and comes undone). Be at the dealer tomorrow to address it. :(

Yup, just got mine replaced yesterday. They had the car all of about 2 hours.

You have a 2010? First I have heard of a 2010 having dash bubbling. I have heard if cracks on the top of the dash but that's all.

Yeah, Rally, are you sure it's the same thing? This is specific to the leather dash insert they started using in the '12's and newer.

Vespula2012 · 09-20-2013, 09:06 AM

Ha! Yeah, same thing (my information was old). Used to have an IOM 2010 SS, but now have a rally yellow 2012 RS/SS (technically a 2SS/RS, but I prefer the old school nomenclature).

Part(s) are on order. Just waiting for it to get here...

Vespula2012 · 09-28-2013, 08:14 PM

Mines all better now. (Dealer replaced it without issue). It sure is nice to have these post to refer them too when they say "I've never seen that before"...!

Mine bubbles too but I can hardly notice so I stopped worrying about it. Would like to have it replace though. Just above the CD slot under the center vents.

Anyone else have this?

Mine just started doing the same thing too. I noticed the glue coming up just under those center a/c vents. I will be taking the Camaro in to the dealership to have them look at it soon. I'll keep you posted.....

Mine has unglued so evenly it looks like it never happened. No replacement needed and one less thing to worry about.

Dznts · 11-01-2013, 06:15 PM

had mine replaced with the updated part, earlier in the year and all is well.

The dealership took care of this issue and replaced the whole dash trim piece for me. It looks like day 1 brand new all over again

fsusmithc2 · 12-11-2013, 10:47 AM

I just noticed yesterday that the tiny trim piece to the left of the gauge cluster has de-glued on me now. Guess they didn't replace that one? Who knows. Probably just going to leave it alone. Main dash panel still looks fine on my replacement.

blackswan · 03-02-2014, 04:02 PM

Had mine replaced late 2012 I think and it's bubbling again (and dealership mechanic put a small gash in my radio bezel, probably with the tool he used to pry out the piece - nice eh?).
